Case Study: BW: Workplace Experts achieves centralized governance and reliable large-file performance for remote teams with Egnyte

Tackling Content Sprawl with Governance Designed to Support Remote Work

BW: Workplace Experts is a London-based office fit-out specialist founded in 2000, now a £200M business of 200 people with roughly 75% of staff working remotely across 25–30 projects. After an on‑prem server crash and a move to multiple cloud services (SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, Egnyte and local file servers), BW suffered content sprawl, versioning and sync errors, and increased compliance complexity during its ISO 27001 journey—problems that were compounded when a full migration to SharePoint failed due to throttling and poor handling of large design files.

BW migrated to Egnyte using Cloud FastPass, prioritizing large Adobe, Revit and video files, and consolidated 6.7M files (~20TB) into a single platform. The switch eliminated multiple storage systems, restored reliable performance for large files, simplified governance and compliance, and delivered responsive vendor support—results that improved remote productivity and reduced IT complexity and risk.
