Case Study: G&S Engineering Services achieves efficient, compliant SharePoint collaboration across remote sites with AvePoint DocAve

G&S Engineering Services Creates an Efficient Information Platform for both Local and Remote Workers with Microsoft® SharePoint® and DocAve®

G&S Engineering Services, a project-oriented engineering firm serving the mining, energy and infrastructure sectors, needed its on‑premises SharePoint intranet to work reliably across headquarters, two regional offices and multiple remote project sites. With about 450 users and high-latency, low-bandwidth satellite and 3G links, the company required secure, up‑to‑date access to procedures, templates and project documents to ensure collaboration, compliance and manageable backups and restores.

G&S deployed AvePoint’s DocAve (Replicator and Backup & Restore) to provide scheduled and real‑time bi‑directional replication, bandwidth control and compression, health monitoring, and full‑fidelity granular backups. The solution ensured consistent access to current documents across locations, reduced replication bandwidth to about one third during nightly syncs, sped up restoration times, lowered IT effort, and delivered a robust, compliant SharePoint platform ready for future Office 365 alignment.
