Egnyte Gains Momentum in Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry

According to the Global Construction 2025 report, the construction industry is expected to grow by 70 percent to $15 trillion in 2025. To achieve gains of this scale while maintaining profitability, the industry is rapidly adopting new technologies. These investments are streamlining complex workflows around collaboration and sharing of extremely large blueprints, enhancing mobile access to project plans, and improving management for thousands of high-resolution photos in the cloud. With Egnyte and its partners, AEC customers can effectively address these challenges and pave the way for this explosive growth.

Egnyte and our partners solve file management challenges around the essential construction workflows - plans, safety, project and image management, accounting and daily reports. Our team is focused on continually adding cutting-edge features and top-notch integrations to offer the most comprehensive suite of file services for our AEC customers.Today, we’re excited to highlight our tremendous momentum across this industry with the signing of several marquee customers and leading construction service provider partners. Take a look at what some of our customers and partners have to say about Egnyte:

“With 750 employees spread across four branch offices and numerous job sites, we needed a secure solution that provides easy mobile access with strong IT controls for our extremely large project plan files,” said Joe Tan, technology director at Devcon. “We chose Egnyte over competitive solutions because the Egnyte platform provides the most robust feature sets for managing all of our file-sharing needs, including flexible deployment models, security controls, and ease of use for our employees.”

“Other tools would have allowed me to share files on a few projects but still left me concerned about security,” said Randy Lessor, director of IT at PC Construction. “With Egnyte, I now have a single platform that has become our file server, addressing departmental and project needs inside and outside the company.”

“We’re thrilled to make document management easier for our joint customers by integrating with Egnyte. With Egnyte and SmartUse, users can manage and redline plans, create and track punch lists, collaborate on files and then automatically sync those files for instant access wherever the construction projects may take our customers,” said François Tanguay, CEO at SmartUse.

“By partnering with Egnyte, we’re able to provide our mutual customers with a seamless way to snap, tag, annotate and manage their photos through the sleek integration between FotoIN and the Egnyte platform,” said Sly Barisic, founder and CEO of FotoIN. “We’re thrilled to work with Egnyte to increase the productivity of construction teams while ensuring secure storing and automated filing of photos.”
