IT that handles engineering workloads
and project data at scale.
From AutoCAD and Civil 3D to MATLAB simulations and multi-GB project files — we build IT infrastructure for engineering firms where performance, security, and project data integrity are non-negotiable.
Engineering IT isn't
generic business IT
Engineering firms operate on large datasets, specialized software, and professional obligations that most IT providers have never encountered. Generic IT support leaves performance on the table and creates real liability risk.
Large File Performance
Civil 3D drawings, FEA models, and GIS datasets routinely exceed gigabytes. Slow network storage wastes engineering hours and reduces project profitability.
Engineering Software Complexity
AutoCAD, Civil 3D, STAAD.Pro, ETABS, MATLAB, ArcGIS — engineering software has specific hardware requirements, licensing models, and compatibility constraints that generic IT providers don't handle well.
Project Data Security & IP
Engineering drawings represent significant intellectual property. Client confidentiality, NDA compliance, and protection against industrial espionage require security beyond standard business IT.
Regulatory & Professional Obligations
P.Eng. sealed drawings have legal significance. Data integrity, access logging, version control, and record retention aren't just IT concerns — they're professional liability management.
IT services designed for
engineering practice
We understand the software, the workloads, and the professional obligations. Every service we deliver is built around what engineering firms actually need.
Engineering Workstation Management
AutoCAD, Civil 3D, STAAD.Pro, ETABS, MATLAB — we spec, deploy, and manage high-performance workstations with the GPU and RAM requirements engineering software demands.
High-Speed Project Storage
NAS/SAN storage optimized for large engineering files: fast SSDs for active projects, tiered archiving for completed work, and 10Gb networking that eliminates the bottleneck between engineers and their data.
Engineering Software Licensing
Autodesk, Bentley, ESRI ArcGIS, MathWorks — license management, deployment, annual renewals, and network license server management so seats are available when needed.
Project Data Backup & Recovery
Automated backup of all project files, CAD drawings, calculations, and reports — with version history so you can restore any point in a project's lifecycle, not just the most recent state.
Cybersecurity for Engineering Firms
Protection for engineering IP: encrypted storage, access controls tied to project assignments, email security, and monitoring for the data exfiltration threats engineering firms face.
Remote Engineering Access
Secure VPN and remote desktop for field engineers and home-office staff — high-performance access to large CAD files without compromising the security of project data.
Microsoft 365 & Collaboration
Secure Teams and SharePoint deployment for engineering teams, including external collaboration with clients and sub-consultants, file versioning, and the compliance configuration engineering firms need.
IT Built for
Engineering Practice
Engineering firms need IT that understands the difference between a corridor model and a surface reference, why xrefs break, and what "P.Eng. sealed" actually means for data management.
Why Engineering IT Is Different
AutoCAD & Civil 3D Infrastructure
Central file management, xref organization, plot server configuration, and the network performance needed for large Civil 3D corridors and surface models.
Structural Analysis Software
STAAD.Pro, ETABS, SAP2000, RAM Structural — license management, model file storage, and the workstation hardware these computationally intensive tools demand.
GIS & Survey Data Management
ArcGIS, AutoCAD Map, survey data processing — storage architecture for large raster and vector datasets, and integration between GIS and your project management workflow.
Calculation & Report Management
Organized storage for engineering calculations, geotechnical reports, structural assessments, and specifications — with versioning and access controls that support P.Eng. professional practices.
Sub-Consultant File Exchange
Secure, organized file sharing with architects, MEP engineers, and subconsultants — proper FTP replacements, SharePoint collaboration spaces, and access that expires when projects close.
Field Connectivity Solutions
VPN optimization for field tablets, offline sync for site engineers, and the hybrid connectivity solutions that keep field teams connected to project data regardless of site conditions.
We understand
engineering workflows
Engineering firms need IT that understands why Civil 3D crashes on underpowered hardware, what happens when xref paths break across a network, and how to build storage that handles decades of project archives without becoming a disorganized mess. Our engineers have built IT for firms like yours.
