QK Engineering Replaced VPNs With Egnyte to Unify Multi-Office CAD, GIS, and Field Data
“With Egnyte, everything is stored in the cloud, so engineers can access and manage files directly anywhere with an internet connection.”
CSCEC ME Migrated to The Cloud With Egnyte, Strengthening Collaboration and Security Across Projects
“Between gathering all the hardware and software, it often used to take us three or four months to set up a new project. With Egnyte, we can get up and running in just one day.”
ALEC Accelerated Site Start-Up and Remote Collaboration Across Complex Projects With Egnyte
“Egnyte allows our teams to collaborate seamlessly across offices and job sites, improving accuracy and saving valuable time on every project.”
ERRG Deployed Egnyte to Improve Compliance and Growth as a Federal Contractor
“We initially brought on Egnyte for CMMC compliance, but we are now seeing the benefits of everything else it enables, especially for collaboration.”
MG Engineering Achieved Rapid, More Cost-Effective Workflows to Manage Large Data Volumes
“Once we transitioned to enterprise cloud for document storage, we were able to work much faster and more productively. It’s also the rare cloud platform that works seamlessly with Autodesk.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How can engineering firms manage version control for CAD, GIS, and simulation files?
Egnyte gives engineering teams a single cloud foundation that integrates with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, and Revit workflows, maintaining version history without breaking file references or disrupting native desktop performance. Teams across disciplines and offices always work from the latest files, with syncing running in the background no manual re-uploading or cross-discipline conflicts.
What solutions help engineering firms manage massive file sizes across civil, structural, and environmental projects?
Egnyte delivers native desktop performance for large CAD, GIS, and simulation files — engineers keep their familiar drive-letter paths and application workflows while data is stored and governed in the cloud. QK Engineering deployed Egnyte to unify CAD, GIS, and field data across multiple offices, eliminating the VPN and file-size bottlenecks that had slowed cross-discipline collaboration.
How can engineering teams access project files securely without relying on VPNs?
Egnyte replaces VPN-dependent file server access with cloud-native delivery that preserves the drive-letter path experience engineers depend on. Field teams can access and edit files directly from mobile devices, with offline mode ensuring work continues when connectivity is unreliable — the same governed data layer accessible from any office, job site, or partner network.
How do engineering firms meet CMMC and ISO 27001 compliance requirements for project data?
Egnyte provides automated governance workflows, audit-ready reporting, and role-based access controls aligned with CMMC and ISO 27001 requirements. Environmental engineering firm ERRG deployed Egnyte to meet both standards simultaneously eliminating manual compliance reporting and increasing data transparency across their federal and state remediation projects without adding administrative overhead.
Does Egnyte integrate with engineering tools like AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, and Revit?
Yes — Egnyte integrates natively with the tools engineering teams use most, including AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, ArcGIS Online, Bluebeam Revu, and Microsoft 365. Engineers manage DWG and XREF files, sync models and sheet sets, and centralize geospatial project data without switching systems or manually reconciling files between disconnected platforms.
How can engineering firms support collaboration across distributed offices, job sites, and external partners?
Egnyte provides a single content foundation with consistent performance across offices, job sites, and partner networks. Global engineering firms CSCEC ME and ALEC Engineering use Egnyte to standardize project collaboration, control document access and approvals, and ensure distributed teams always work from current drawings reducing errors and eliminating the content silos that slow multi-site projects.
How can engineering firms automate document retention and archiving at project closeout?
Egnyte automates retention policies for as-built drawings, certifications, and maintenance plans — with audit-ready governance built in from project initiation, not applied manually at closeout. Retention schedules configure per project type, ensuring documentation meets regulatory requirements and remains searchable for future reference without relying on manual archiving workflows or end-of-project scrambles.
