Case Study: The Korte Company achieves streamlined project collaboration and secure file recovery with CTERA Networks

The Korte Company Streamlines Construction Project Efficiency through Smart File Management and Simplified Collaboration

The Korte Company, a U.S. integrated design-build construction firm with hundreds of employees across regional offices, was struggling to manage and provide reliable access to the large volume of project files its teams create. Local file servers, a metadata-heavy SharePoint deployment, and a single Dropbox account led to duplicated files, cumbersome sharing processes, poor remote/mobile access, and significant IT overhead.

Korte deployed CTERA cloud storage gateways and Enterprise File Sync & Share (EFSS), restoring NAS-style access, enabling mobile iPad access, integrating with Active Directory, and backing up snapshots to an AWS VPC for versioning and ransomware recovery. The unified solution simplified sharing, enabled user self-service, reduced IT effort and costs, and delivered immediate productivity gains—fast file access, easy restores, and smoother collaboration for internal and external users.
