ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN IT TRANSFORMATION
How PTG helped architecture firms across the Triangle overcome large file management, cloud collaboration, and cybersecurity challenges.
IT Obstacles Facing Architecture Firms
Slow File Access
Network infrastructure designed for basic office tasks buckled under the demands of AutoCAD, Revit, and 3D rendering workloads.
No Remote Collaboration
Designers could not access project files or work on BIM models without physically being in the office.
Unprotected IP
Thousands of hours of original design work sat on systems with minimal protection and no tested disaster recovery plan.
Secured & Protected
Enterprise-grade security controls deployed across all systems and endpoints.
Compliant & Documented
Full regulatory compliance with written policies, training, and audit readiness.
Monitored 24/7
Continuous security monitoring with immediate incident detection and response.
