Case Study: GBBN Architects improves secure file sharing and work-life balance with Egnyte

GBBN Architects Improves Work-Life Balance With Egnyte

GBBN Architects, a Cincinnati-based architectural design firm with more than 150 employees across five offices, was struggling with aging on-premises storage, limited data visibility, and insecure file sharing with outside project partners. The firm needed a secure, easy-to-use collaboration platform, and evaluated Egnyte alongside other options to improve file access, security, and management.

Egnyte provided richer reporting, machine-learning-based security alerts, file auditing, and controlled partner collaboration, replacing much of GBBN’s dependence on VPNs and even overlapping with some project information management tools. After implementing Egnyte, GBBN reduced file search times from days to seconds, became 99.9% VPN free, improved mobile access for project managers, and strengthened protection against unauthorized data access and abnormal downloads.
