PCL Construction Reduces IT Costs Despite Doubling Data

PCL managed hundreds of projects concurrently that required dedicated, on-site file servers. This became a nightmare due to the number of computer-aided design (CAD) and other large file types generated by architects and engineers. They found that their existing traditional file services infrastructure, which included Windows file servers and SharePoint Online, were costly for the IT team to maintain and insufficient for sharing large design files.

They replaced their legacy on-premises file systems with Egnyte for content management and mobility, with API extensibility that could easily integrate with its in-house applications including Salesforce, Microsoft Office, Bluebeam, and custom apps. Employees are now using Egnyte on their smartphones and mobile devices to access documents and consume content in real time in the field.

Learn how PCL using Egnyte:
• Eliminated the need to procure costly storage infrastructure.
• Created multiple access points to Egnyte versus multiple file stores, making the IT team more efficient.
• Doubled its data in two years while actually reducing IT costs.
