Case Study: Devcon Construction reduces project costs with Egnyte hybrid content infrastructure

Devcon Construction saves $30,000 in six months with Egnyte

Devcon Construction, the largest general contractor in Silicon Valley, faced challenges providing its distributed teams and subcontractors with simple, secure access to large project files, especially at job sites with unpredictable internet. Their legacy FTP system was difficult to manage, led to IT helpdesk overload, and caused subcontractors to use unauthorized file-sharing tools. They evaluated cloud-only solutions and on-site storage but found them inadequate due to connectivity, cost, and security concerns.

They implemented Egnyte's hybrid content infrastructure, specifically using Egnyte's Storage Sync on NETGEAR ReadyNAS devices at job sites. This provided local file access with cloud synchronization. Egnyte's solution improved performance, eliminated the need for WAN accelerators, and enabled mobile access. The results included saving nearly $30,000 in total cost of ownership within six months and reducing bandwidth costs by $24,000 across ten sites, while centralizing control and ensuring secure file sharing.
