HortonworksHortonworks Adopts Autodesk for Engineering Design
Hortonworks, an information technology organization in the United States, uses Fusion from Autodesk to support engineering design for design engineers.
Fusion became the place Hortonworks uses to author and review designs in a shared environment instead of file sprawl.
“Inside Hortonworks, engineering design used to depend on whoever still had the latest file.”
“Design engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.”

Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for product design |
| Capability | Engineering design stays visible to adjacent teams through Fusion |
| Capability | Design engineers work from the same Fusion record for product design |
Story
Inside Hortonworks, engineering design used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. Design engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Hortonworks uses Fusion from Autodesk as the working layer for product design. Autodesk makes design and make software for architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing, including AutoCAD, Revit, and Fusion. The practical change is simple: engineering design has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Hortonworks gets from Autodesk is a durable place to run engineering design and a way for design engineers to see the same product design at the same time.
