Case Study: Environmental Science Associates (ESA) achieves heightened customer focus and streamlined data management with Egnyte

ESA Heightens Customer Focus with Data Management Efficiencies

Environmental Science Associates (ESA) is a 50‑year, 100% employee‑owned environmental consulting firm with 21 offices across the U.S. Facing a largely analog workflow, ESA’s field teams couldn’t transmit large BIM and CAD datasets from job sites, relied on a maintenance‑heavy data center, and lacked consistent document control and business‑continuity safeguards—issues that slowed collaboration and risked project delays, especially in earthquake‑prone regions.

ESA implemented Egnyte as a single source of truth, enabling secure, real‑time collaboration, fast retrieval of archived content, and reliable access to field data. The platform cut review cycles from weeks to days, reduced administrative time (amplified across hundreds of staff), shifted IT toward user education, and improved morale and client focus by ensuring uninterrupted, compliant delivery of technical work.
