Elevating Collaboration for CAD and SolidWorks Users: A Managed Service Provider’s Journey to Operational Excellence

By -


In the rapidly evolving world of managed IT services, providing robust solutions that meet industry-specific demands can set a Managed Service Provider (MSP) apart. For businesses reliant on demanding applications such as CAD and SolidWorks, managing large files and enabling seamless collaboration across multiple sites has historically presented significant challenges. Our recent experience with a California-based MSP highlights the transformative potential of cloud technology tailored precisely to these unique needs.

Identifying the Challenge

Our client, a proactive MSP primarily supporting businesses within sectors like non-profits and wineries, sought a more effective method to manage and synchronize extensive CAD and SolidWorks files. Previously reliant on traditional solutions like SharePoint and Autodesk, they encountered persistent limitations related to slow syncing, inadequate real-time collaboration capabilities, and infrastructure bottlenecks from on-premises servers.

Exploring New Possibilities

Determined to transcend these constraints, our client discovered CentreStack, a cloud-based solution specifically engineered for complex file environments. With features like real-time synchronization, accelerated 3D performance for CAD files, intelligent caching, and global file locking, CentreStack represented the exact blend of innovation and reliability the MSP needed.

Implementing the Solution

The collaboration began with an extensive evaluation and integration period, marked by detailed planning and meticulous execution. Over several weeks, the MSP seamlessly transitioned their file management from traditional local servers to CentreStack’s cloud environment, significantly enhancing their operational efficiency and enabling multi-site teams to collaborate effortlessly in real time.

Cultural and Strategic Transformation

Beyond technological advantages, this shift marked a strategic cultural transformation within the MSP. Aligning their technology choices with their core values of community engagement, environmental responsibility, and workplace positivity, the organization demonstrated the significance of selecting solutions that resonate with corporate culture and long-term vision.

The Results: Enhanced Productivity and Collaboration

The impact was immediate and impressive. With CentreStack's implementation, the MSP saw measurable improvements in scalability, operational efficiency, and collaboration effectiveness. Clients benefited from faster, more reliable access to large design files, significantly boosting productivity and project turnaround times.

Looking Ahead: A Blueprint for Industry Leadership

This MSP’s journey illustrates a clear pathway for other organizations grappling with similar technical challenges. Embracing cloud technology designed specifically for large-file collaboration can be transformative, positioning businesses as innovative leaders prepared for the future's evolving demands.
