Case Study: Hydro achieves safer, faster collaboration with Egnyte

Hydro, Inc. Boosts Collaboration With Staff, Clients, and Regulators

Hydro, Inc., the world’s largest independent pump rebuilder, was struggling with 27 terabytes of engineering data spread across local servers and 16 global offices. The company needed a more secure way to manage file sharing, permissions, version control, and regulatory collaboration, especially for complex quality assurance workflows serving energy and nuclear clients. Egnyte’s cloud file management platform was chosen to replace the overloaded file servers and improve control over critical documents.

Egnyte implemented secure cloud storage, micro-level permissions, AI-powered document workflows, Microsoft Office co-editing, snapshot-based ransomware recovery, and centralized collaboration for internal teams, clients, and regulators. The results were significant: Hydro synced 27 terabytes of data, saved about 16 hours per week for IT, and gained faster document reviews, near-instant quality control, and safer file recovery. Egnyte also helped Hydro make collaboration more paperless and efficient while creating a path toward a curated knowledge base for clients.
