Hanson Professional Services improves productivity for CAD users in branch offices with GPU cloud workstations
Hanson Professional Services Inc. is a nationally recognized, award-winning consulting firm that has provided engineering, planning and allied services since 1954.
Challenge
Designers in remote offices were unable to work on CAD files because of performance issues when trying to access project data over a VPN connection. With a growing number of branch offices and high-value CAD experts working on projects around the country, the IT team had to find a way to solve this problem.
To grow the firm, more billable hours are needed, and that requires a combination of pursuing new business in any geography and improving productivity for project teams. After being introduced to Workspot by an industry colleague and reviewing its unique capabilities, the IT team gained approval to deploy Workspot in their branch offices.
