Typical IT Solutions Aren’t Enough for Texas Engineers

Engineering firms are known for pushing the limits of their technology. While at a glance, it might look like your engineers need a similar setup to a normal office, the typical infrastructure that a standard office uses is only going to cause headaches for your team.

Engineering Firms Demand More Out of Their IT

While some office standards and best practices carry over to engineers, like antivirus, patch management, security updates, firewalls, and email hosting, the underlying infrastructure of the network needs to be able to support the resource-intensive workflows and processes of the typical engineer.

For instance, engineers tend to work with large, complex files within CAD, FEA, VBA, and other advanced drawing and modeling applications. The movement of these files across the network takes more bandwidth than the typical files a normal office is passing around. Centralized file storage needs are going to be higher to keep the files archived and backed up. The workstations engineers use to run their various applications will need the computing power to handle the demands of the complex software they need to use every day.

If Engineers are Frustrated with their IT, This is Probably Why

Most IT providers have a pretty good playbook for deploying secure, effective networks for the average business. However, not all businesses can run off of the same standards. Engineering firms, architects, and other highly technical professionals tend to need more, which takes a special understanding from the perspective of the IT service provider.
