A/E/C organizations make extensive use of large CAD drawings throughout the entire project life cycle. From the initial concept, through design, engineering, construction, maintenance and ultimately decommissioning, these CAD files need to be easily and quickly accessible to a wide range of users in many branch offices. Discover how to overcome latency across multiple team members and projects with LAN-like speed and productivity.
By establishing a common distributed file structure company-wide with Packeteer iShared, AVID Group is centralizing and synchronizing shared files that dramatically improve the productivity of project managers and CAD technicians and reduced capital and resource costs by eliminating tape drives and Exchange servers at each branch.
As one of the largest architectural and sustainable design firms in the United States, Burt Hill is leveraging Packeteer's PacketShapers, iShareds and Mobiliti software to erase the boundaries between the local, branch, remote and mobile workforce and provide immediate access to time-sensitive project data regardless of their location, without requiring expensive WAN link upgrades to its MPLS network.
