400 Terabytes and Counting: HOK's Evolution From File Storage to True Collaboration

When global architecture firm HOK migrated 400 terabytes of active project data to Egnyte, the goal was simple: give 2,000 staff worldwide access to files without a VPN. But what started as a cloud storage play has grown into a full collaboration platform.

Join HOK's Eric Bogenschutz as he shares how HOK moved beyond basic file access to enable real-time co-editing, onboard external project partners as standard users, and use Egnyte's AI to surface decades of project data on demand. You’ll walk away from this session with practical lessons on phased rollouts, strategies for driving user adoption, and a framework for turning a file system into a connected collaboration layer across the entire firm.
