ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING
Today’s architectural and engineering projects involve hundreds of very large CAD files. FileFlex Enterprise allows remote access and sharing of these critical schematics over the Internet from within Windows over a standard Internet connection. Full integration with Windows means that remote locations look and act like a local drive under a single-pane-of-glass with easy access and no change in workflow.
Project managers and skilled workers need to access CAD files when on the worksite, often from a tablet or smartphone. FileFlex Enterprise allows remote workers to natively access large AutoCAD, Photoshop and Adobe files from within Windows. With FileFlex Enterprise you can now have super secure access and its plug-and-play from Windows using any smartphone or tablet without needing a license for the source application.
The main competitive advantage for architects and engineers is their intellectual property. The Zero Trust Data Access technology of FileFlex Enterprise allows organizations to control access to confidential documents and can prohibit sharing or restrict sharing with downloading prohibited. Intellectual property can be located on-premises without being copied to the servers of third parties. Additionally, the activity log provides visibility to all access, sharing or modification of trade secrets for forensic investigations. Alerts and the ability to auto-export to SIEM software can flag suspicious activity.
Both large and small jobs require extensive use of skilled contractors that need access to design files. FileFlex Enterprise allows IT to control remote data access on their SharePoint or hybrid infrastructure to just the information needed, with least-privilege as needed policies to enable the remote contractor workforce.
Traditionally your remote workforce must download job-related CAD files and open with a local copy of the CAD software over a VPN. Due to the large size of these files, this can be a slow and expensive process. FileFlex Enterprise provides remote access to files from their source locations over the Internet without the need for a VPN.
