Case Study: Alta Planning + Design saves $220k+ a year and delivers projects 10% more efficiently with Egnyte

How Alta Planning + Design Saves $220k+ a Year and Delivers Projects 10% More Efficiently with Egnyte

Alta Planning + Design, an engineering and design firm with 21 offices, was hampered by siloed servers and legacy NAS devices that made finding, accessing, and protecting files slow and error-prone. Distributed teams across the US, Canada, and Asia faced duplicate or outdated files, overwrites, unrecoverable deletions, slow transfers, and heavy manual IT overhead—creating urgent need for a consolidated platform to improve visibility, collaboration, and governance.

Alta deployed Egnyte, migrating 225 users and all 21 offices in two months to a single source of truth that integrated with GIS, AutoCAD, and Adobe tools, provided automatic syncing and self-service recovery, and centralized permissions and oversight. The result: projects are delivered 10% more efficiently, the company saves $220k+ annually (including ~$91k from reduced file-search time and ~$45k from improved co-editing), IT management costs fall by roughly $84.7k and IT time on manual chores drops 40%, while teams collaborate faster and more securely.
