Cloud File Sharing for Engineering & Construction
Accessing documents offsite can be challenging, especially with limited Internet access. Employees and contractors should to be able to read and edit large drawing sets from any laptop or tablet, without ever needing to print. They should also have secure access only to files specific to their projects.

Read and edit large drawing sets digitally, without printing
How do remote employees and contractors access designs and blueprints on their tablets? Egnyte's hybrid cloud solution allowed Balfour Beatty to provide their employees with access to large drawing sets on the field, using any laptop or tablet. With Egnyte, employees were able to digitally access drawings on their iPads, without ever needing to print. This sustainable paperless approach allowed Balfour Beatty to save $5.1 million in paper costs (9,000 lbs of paper) on the Dallas Fort Worth Airport project.

Access files offsite even without Internet connectivity
What happens when your employees need file access on the field, but there's no Internet connection? Egnyte integrates with any local storage device to provide uninterrupted file access and sharing from anywhere, online or offline. At job sites where Internet connection is limited, employees can collaborate and access files offline directly from the local storage. When Internet connection becomes available, those files are automatically updated and stored online for future use.
