IT innovations offer a competitive edge, but also increase demands on IT systems and management, writes Jolyon Vernon. Growth of file sizes, unstructured data and infrastructure complexity cause limited visibility, backup challenges and security risks. INDUSTRY ISSUES #AECindustry project teams access huge files generated by design apps and #BIM tools. This can lead to unsanctioned methods for sharing and storing data, such as downloading files to local devices, resulting in inconsistent datasets. With data spread across locations, backup, recovery, patching and updates are more challenging. Complex environments increase risks from cyberattacks, unauthorised access, data corruption and breaches. Growing data volumes strain budgets, storage capacity and resources. Poor visibility can lead to compliance issues, extend project cycles and increase costs. ADDRESSING CHALLENGES Overcoming obstacles by adopting scalable, futureproof data management solutions enhances collaboration and IT operations. Modern file services platforms enable dispersed organisations to securely store data, synchronise and share large files. Teams access the most current information, eliminating version conflicts and making collaboration more efficient. Built-in immutable data protection and simplified user access management frees up IT resources. Modern file management solutions address current challenges and prepare for future changes. It’s not just a question of boosting storage capacity; it’s about having future-proof systems to keep up with growing project demands and business needs, allowing your organisation to maintain a competitive edge, streamline operations, and foster innovation. TECH ALONE ISN'T ENOUGH Unfortunately, many have found investing in new tech doesn’t always solve their problem; sometimes it complicates the issue. IT teams can struggle to right-size platforms, risking performance issues, unnecessary expense and cloud data egress fees. Ongoing management can also be difficult. With investment in any new technology, success relies on having the right people. Modern file services platforms are complex hybrid platforms – long-term deployment requires specialists to tailor them to the unique needs of each organisation. STACKING THE ODDS IN YOUR FAVOUR Leading AEC firms are turning to specialist #MSPs to derive greater ROI via fully-managed solutions in a predictable, monthly OpEx model. This gives them access to specialist skills and industry knowledge and removes the headache of designing, implementing, managing and optimising solutions. Next gen managed file services solutions are empowering #collaboration with more effective global #data management. The result is greater productivity, efficiency, resilience and scalability on a realistic budget, helping AEC firms to maintain a competitive edge and positively impact their bottom line in an increasingly data-driven world.
