Balfour Beatty saves $5M by simplifying project collaboration

Challenges

Balfour Beatty manages complex vertical construction and infrastructure projects. To support continued growth, including a major airport renovation, it needed a streamlined, cost-effective way to share information across teams, sites, and devices.

Solution

By replacing traditional file servers and file-sharing processes with the Egnyte platform in a hybrid cloud infrastructure, the company established fast, seamless collaboration enterprise wide.

“Balfour Beatty had tried other solutions before Egnyte… but without success. We can now confidently say we have a rock-solid digital documentation process with a smart collaboration solution from Egntye across our entire organization.”

Director of Technology and Innovation

Results

• More than $5 million in savings owing to reductions in hardware and software refreshes, VPN services, administrative overhead and printing on one project alone.
• Smarter collaboration via seamless access to digital documentation for all internal users and external partners leading to increased revenue and profit.
• Multi-level data protections through a single, secure repository for all users with flexible administration and permissions.

“The benefits of Egnyte have touched our entire organization, from tremendous cost and time efficiencies, to creating a smarter workflow for multiple teams involved in a variety of complex projects.”
