IT for Technical Teams

Engineering firms put demands on their IT infrastructure that most businesses never encounter. CAD workstations, simulation software, and rendering applications require hardware that is specified correctly. Project files are large, version-controlled, and often shared across teams and with external clients and contractors.

How We Help

High-Performance Workstations CAD, BIM, simulation, and modeling software require workstations with sufficient CPU, GPU, and RAM to perform without bottlenecking your engineers. We spec, procure, and configure workstations around the applications your team actually uses, not generic office specifications.
Technical Software Support AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, SolidWorks, and other engineering applications require specific hardware configurations and occasional license management. We support the infrastructure these applications run on and coordinate with vendors when software-level issues arise.
Large-Scale Storage Solutions Engineering projects generate large files that accumulate over time. We design and implement storage solutions that handle the capacity and performance requirements of technical project files, with backup and redundancy appropriate for data that represents significant billable work.
High-Performance Networking Moving large project files across the network should not be a bottleneck for your engineers. We design wired and wireless networks with the bandwidth and latency performance that technical work requires, including appropriate storage access speeds for shared project data.
Secure File Collaboration Sharing project files with clients, contractors, and subconsultants requires access that is controlled, audited, and revocable. We implement secure file collaboration solutions that give external parties access to what they need without opening your internal systems to unnecessary exposure.
Backup for Large Project Files Losing project files is not a minor inconvenience. It represents lost billable hours, potential liability, and damaged client relationships. We implement backup solutions designed for large file volumes with verified recovery and offsite copies.

What Makes Engineering IT Different

Engineering IT is defined by the performance requirements of the work. Generic office IT is insufficient for a firm doing serious technical work, and the cost of underpowered infrastructure is measured in lost engineer productivity. Getting the specifications right on workstations, storage, and networking is the most impactful thing you can do for an engineering firm's technology environment.

  • Workstation specifications driven by software requirements, not budget minimums
  • Storage performance matched to file sizes and concurrent access patterns
  • Network infrastructure designed for large file transfers without throughput bottlenecks
  • Software license management for seat-based engineering applications
  • Client data security appropriate for proprietary project information
