Challenges Facing Architecture Firms

Large Files Slow Everything Down

CAD drawings, BIM models, and rendering files can be gigabytes each. Slow transfers and storage limitations kill productivity and miss deadlines.

Remote Collaboration is Challenging

Distributed teams need to work on the same project files simultaneously. Poor connectivity or sync issues lead to version conflicts and rework.

Intellectual Property at Risk

Your designs represent years of expertise. Without proper security, project files can be stolen, leaked, or held for ransom by cybercriminals.
