Case Study: MEP Associates achieves 100% efficiency improvement and seamless Revit/CAD collaboration with Globalscape WAFS

MEP Relies on WAFS™ by Globalscape® for Nationwide Offi ce Collaboration

MEP Associates, a multi-office consulting and design firm, struggled to share large AutoCAD and Revit files across locations using VPN, email, and manual copying, which caused bottlenecks, version loss, and simultaneous-edit conflicts. To solve this, MEP selected Globalscape’s Wide Area File Services (WAFS) to provide secure, real-time replication and collaboration across its offices.

Globalscape implemented WAFS to replicate CAD and design files, enforce file locking/read-only access, and enable automatic restores; the firm reports a 100% improvement in efficiency and faster, more reliable collaboration. Globalscape’s solution also enabled rapid recovery when three SAN drives failed—data was rebuilt the same day and users resumed work the next morning—reducing downtime, improving project delivery speed, and lowering costs.
