Hybrid Working for Creative Teams
Seamless remote access to large project files.
The challenge
What they were dealing with
An 8-person architectural practice was struggling with remote working. Their Revit and AutoCAD files were too large for traditional VPN access, and the home broadband of most staff couldn't handle syncing full project folders. Collaboration had become painful, with version conflicts and frustrated architects.
Risk: Remote Working Friction
What we did
The solution
We implemented SharePoint with Files On-Demand, meaning architects only download files they're actively working on. For the largest Revit projects, we set up a properly specified Azure Virtual Desktop that gives the same performance from home as in the office. Project handovers now happen in Teams with shared screens rather than email chains.
- SharePoint Files On-Demand
- Azure Virtual Desktop
- Microsoft Teams
- Revit Cloud Worksharing
The result
Home as Fast as the Office
Our team can now work from home without the frustration. The virtual desktop for big projects is a game-changer - it's actually faster than my old office machine was.
