Construction firms often struggle with fragmented communication between job sites, engineers, and office staff. Security risks are also high because sensitive blueprints and client contracts get shared informally via email or even paper documents.
Challenge:
· Outdated laptops slowed down CAD applications and project management software.
· Field supervisors relied on email to send documents, leading to version control issues.
· Sensitive architectural drawings were at risk of unauthorized access.
· Company leadership needed a way to keep project managers, engineers, and accountants aligned without investing in multiple overlapping tools.
Solution (Tech Driven Solutions Approach):
1. Conducted a full IT assessment of hardware, software, and workflows.
2. Deployed Microsoft 365 Business Premium to unify communications via Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive.
3. Migrated legacy files into SharePoint Online with role-based access control.
4. Replaced outdated laptops with Dell Latitude business laptops and Lenovo docking stations purchased directly through Tech Driven Solutions’ eCommerce platform.
5. Implemented Zero Trust cybersecurity with Microsoft Defender and Azure AD multi-factor authentication.
Results:
· Document turnaround times decreased by 40% (from days to hours).
· Version control issues eliminated; project managers always worked on the latest file.
· Reduced data leak risks by securing access with MFA and conditional access policies.
· Lowered IT maintenance costs by 25% thanks to standardized devices and licenses.
