Architectural And Construction

The architecture and construction industries are no strangers to pushing the limits of how digital tools mold the world around us. Because of this, it is imperative to be proactive to make sure tools like AutoCAD, Autodesk, Bluebeam Revu, Solidworks can run without interruptions.

Although this isn’t a breakthrough concept, we are amazed by how many IT firms can’t get this right. Even more amazing is how many companies tolerate such poor service from outsourced IT firms! In fact, our research has shown that most CFOs have 3 big problems they are chronically plagued with that their current IT company just can’t seem to solve. See if you agree…


Problem #1: You Have Constant Problems With CAD Files: Whether it’s trying to recover a critical project file that was overwritten, accidentally deleted or has mysteriously become corrupt OR ensuring you don’t lose files altogether, this is a BIG area of concern for our clients.

Problem #2: You Cannot Easily Share Or E-mail Large Files:
How many times have you tried to e-mail a file only to have your e-mail freeze up, crash and stop working? Or have e-mail stop working altogether because your mailbox is full? Or how often do remote workers find themselves frustrated, unable to access critical drawings and files?

Problem #3: Poor Communication, Terrible Response Times And Horrible Service From Your Outsourced IT Company: When you call their office, you get voice mail. When they finally get around to calling you back, they don’t resolve the problem quickly and then take days or weeks to finally get it fixed. To make matters worse, you have recurring problems that come up again and again. Meanwhile, your blood pressure is going through the roof because you have hard deadlines that you MUST hit.
