Case Study: AFRY achieves global real-time Revit collaboration, boosted productivity and reduced costs with Panzura Freedom Collaboration

Accelerating Delivery for Global Leader in Engineering, Design

ÅF is a global engineering and design firm with thousands of engineers and partners across about 100 offices. Their distributed workforce faced fragmented storage, inconsistent backup procedures and slow Revit Server performance, which blocked real‑time collaboration, created versioning issues, wasted design capacity and increased costs.

To fix this, ÅF deployed Panzura Freedom Collaboration as a single global cloud filesystem with a global namespace, distributed file and byte‑range locking and local caching to fully support Revit worksharing. The change enabled real‑time cross‑site collaboration, reduced latency and data sprawl, automated backup/DR, improved resource allocation and delivered measurable productivity gains, faster project delivery and lower infrastructure costs.
