Case Study: Designvox achieves uninterrupted collaboration and secure, anywhere file access with Egnyte for Google Apps

Designvox - Customer Case Study

Designvox is a 25-person, human-centered strategy, design and technology firm in Grand Rapids that supports clients like Whirlpool and Eli Lilly. Rapidly growing storage needs and a single 22TB on-site file server caused frequent crashes, VPN connection problems and long maintenance windows, crippling collaboration and productivity both in-office and when staff worked offsite.

Designvox replaced its aging infrastructure with Egnyte for Google Apps—combining Google Drive for Work’s unlimited storage with Egnyte Storage Sync on Synology—to create a hybrid, centrally managed file system with SSO and seamless device access. The change eliminated full-stop downtime, cut CAPEX by $5,000–$10,000 a year plus ~$200/month in power, enabled creation and sharing of thousands of documents and large files, and significantly improved team collaboration and efficiency.
