Case Study: Devcon Construction achieves 300% bandwidth reduction and $30K savings with Egnyte's hybrid content infrastructure

Hybrid content infrastructure helps Devcon build better, world-class facilities

Devcon Construction, founded in 1976 and the largest general contractor in Silicon Valley for two decades, builds large-scale, technology‑driven facilities and manages many concurrent job sites and subcontractors. The company struggled with secure, reliable access to large project files (CAD drawings, plans, contracts) at sites with unpredictable internet, relying on an FTP server that overloaded IT with configuration and access issues.

Devcon deployed a hybrid Egnyte solution with Storage Sync on NETGEAR ReadyNAS devices and mobile access, giving local, bi‑directional sync and centralized control while eliminating costly WAN accelerators. The change improved field productivity, reduced bandwidth usage by 300%, and saved about $30K in the first six months, while providing secure, easy access to up‑to‑date project files for employees and subcontractors.
