How We Help a Growing Civil Engineering Firm

Consider a 30-person civil engineering firm with a Denver office, several remote employees, and engineers who regularly visit project sites.

The firm uses CAD and civil design applications, a shared project-file system, Microsoft 365, cloud collaboration tools, plotters, and several industry-specific platforms.

As the firm grows, it begins experiencing several problems:

  • Large project files take too long to open
  • Workstations have different hardware specifications
  • Engineers experience software crashes
  • Remote employees struggle to access shared files
  • Project-folder permissions are inconsistent
  • New employees wait several days for system access
  • Old accounts are not always removed promptly
  • Backups run, but recovery has never been tested
  • Employees contact several vendors when applications fail
  • Leadership does not have a technology replacement plan

What Denver IT Would Do

1. Assess the Firm’s Technology Environment

Denver IT reviews the firm’s:

  • Workstations and laptops
  • Servers and file-storage systems
  • Network and internet performance
  • CAD and engineering applications
  • Software licensing environment
  • Cloud platforms
  • User accounts and permissions
  • Remote-access systems
  • Backup configuration
  • Security tools
  • Plotters and connected equipment
  • Technology vendors

We document how the firm’s technology supports projects and identify issues affecting performance, security, and reliability.

2. Identify Performance Bottlenecks

Our team reviews workstation specifications, network capacity, storage performance, application requirements, and remote connectivity.

We then prioritize improvements based on how directly each issue affects project work.

For example, the firm may need:

  • Memory upgrades for certain workstations
  • Faster local or network storage
  • Improved connectivity to project files
  • Replacement of unsupported computers
  • Better Wi-Fi coverage
  • A revised remote-access configuration
  • More consistent workstation standards

3. Standardize Engineering Workstations

Denver IT helps establish approved workstation specifications based on the applications used by different roles.

A CAD designer may require a more powerful system than an administrative employee. Standardizing equipment by role makes purchasing, deployment, support, and replacement planning more consistent.

4. Organize Project Access

We review shared folders, user groups, external sharing, and employee permissions.

Access is organized around approved projects and job responsibilities. New employees receive the appropriate access, while departing employees can be removed through a documented offboarding process.

5. Improve Remote and Field Connectivity

Denver IT configures approved laptops, multi-factor authentication, secure remote access, and cloud tools so engineers can reach authorized resources outside the office.

We also help troubleshoot connectivity problems that prevent field and remote employees from submitting reports, opening files, or communicating with the office.

6. Verify Backup and Recovery

We confirm which files and systems are included in the backup process, monitor backup completion, and test whether priority project data can be restored.

The firm receives a documented recovery sequence identifying which systems should return first after a disruption.

7. Coordinate Software and Equipment Vendors

When CAD software, a plotter, a cloud platform, or another system fails, employees contact Denver IT.

We investigate the issue and coordinate with the appropriate vendor when specialized product support is required. This prevents engineers from losing productive time determining which provider is responsible.

8. Build a Technology Roadmap

Denver IT creates a plan for:

  • Workstation replacements
  • Storage growth
  • Network upgrades
  • Software changes
  • New employee onboarding
  • Additional office locations
  • Cybersecurity improvements
  • Backup capacity
  • Future project requirements

Leadership can then budget for improvements instead of reacting to unexpected failures.

The Expected Business Result

The engineering firm gains:

  • Faster and more reliable engineering workstations
  • Improved access to large project files
  • Consistent support for remote and field employees
  • Better control over project permissions
  • Verified backup and recovery procedures
