Case Study: TLC Engineering Solutions achieves faster Revit collaboration and 4-5 hours/week designer time savings with Panzura Freedom Collaboration

200+ Extra Billable Hours Per Designer, Per Year for TLC

TLC Engineering for Architecture is a national AEC firm with more than 60 years of experience and multiple offices. Facing slow WAN performance when sharing large Revit models and project files, the firm could not efficiently share staff or work concurrently across offices, and needed improved backup, disaster recovery, and a move to cloud storage as they expanded.

TLC deployed Panzura Freedom Collaboration—11 filers and a migration of 14 TB to the cloud—which eliminated the need for Riverbed WAN accelerators, improved Revit sync and model open times, and enabled simultaneous multi‑office collaboration. The change saved designers an average of 4–5 hours per week, strengthened encryption and DR with snapshot rollback, boosted productivity and morale, and reduced infrastructure and operational costs.
