OpenAsset review
A strong AEC asset hub for proposal teams, but not a proposal-first workspace.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OpenAsset is a cloud-based digital asset management platform from Axomic Ltd for architecture, engineering, and construction firms. It gives proposal teams a centralized library for project photos, videos, documents, audio, VR images, employee information, and related metadata. Project-based organization, searchable fields, keyword taxonomy, and AI-suggested image keywords help teams organize and retrieve materials for proposal production. Approval workflows and external sharing portals add controls for reviewing and distributing selected assets.
Its ecosystem is a strong fit for AEC firms with established business systems. OpenAsset integrates with Deltek Vision, Deltek Vantagepoint, Unanet CRM, Procore, WordPress, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Express, Templafy, and Zapier. Single sign-on integrations include Azure Active Directory, Okta, and Ping Identity, while a REST API supports custom integrations. These connections can help proposal teams work with project, customer, design, and identity systems without treating the asset library as an isolated repository. Document creation is supported through project, employee, file, and text templates.
The main buying distinction is scope. OpenAsset can support proposal workflows by organizing approved content and creating documents from templates, but its primary verified job is asset management rather than proposal creation. Firms that need structured control over AEC media, metadata, approvals, sharing, and connected systems should find its breadth relevant. Teams seeking a dedicated proposal authoring environment as the central product should consider a proposal-first alternative instead. OpenAsset was founded in 2003, is available on the web, and includes SSO and API access for organizations with integration and access-management requirements.
