Case Study: Architectural firm BNIM speeds project turnaround and cuts IT overhead 40% with Dropbox Business

BNIM - Customer Case Study

BNIM is an award‑winning architecture firm that expanded from its Kansas City headquarters to seven offices nationwide. That growth exposed workflow problems: separate network drives, slow VPN and server performance when sharing large 3-D Revit models, and last‑minute file transfers that delayed proposals—so much so that employees began using personal Dropbox accounts to collaborate.

BNIM adopted Dropbox Business, using file requests, shared folders and links, and mobile access to streamline collaboration, plus the Admin Console (with remote wipe) to secure proprietary designs. The change eliminated cumbersome steps, sped up client and internal response times, and cut IT management overhead by 40%, while giving BNIM tighter control over its files and improved client satisfaction.
