Case Study: C.W. Driver Cos. centralizes project data and cuts IT costs with Egnyte

This 100-Year-Old Construction Company Found a File-Management Solution for the Next 100 Years—with Egnyte and Autodesk

C.W. Driver Companies, a more than 102-year-old California construction firm responsible for thousands of projects, faced growing IT pain from an organic, add‑as‑you-go infrastructure. Rapid data growth filled expensive SAN storage, shadow IT created file silos across Box/Dropbox, version confusion slowed field teams, and dispersed records risked non‑compliance with contractual and legal archiving requirements.

The company migrated project data to Egnyte, retired its 20 on‑premises servers, and integrated Egnyte with Autodesk Construction Cloud Connect to create a single source of truth. The move delivered mobile access and advanced revision control, streamlined closeout and compliance, freed IT to focus on strategic projects, and enabled predictable, scalable storage—helping the firm avoid IT budget increases for eight years and stay operational through remote work transitions.
