Case Study: Landform Professional Services opens large CAD files 92% faster from home with Riverbed SteelHead Mobile

Landform Professional Services cuts CAD file open times 92% with Riverbed

Landform Professional Services, a multi-disciplinary consulting firm, faced the challenge of ensuring business continuity by enabling its employees to work from home efficiently. Their primary issue was the slow time required to open large CAD files over home internet connections, which took up to 20 minutes and disrupted workflows. To solve this, they turned to vendor Riverbed for an acceleration solution.

Riverbed implemented its SteelHead Mobile solution on employee devices. The result was a dramatic 92% reduction in file open times, shrinking the process from 20 minutes to just 90 seconds. This translated to time savings of up to 2-3 hours per employee daily, allowing Landform to pay back its investment in less than one month and providing a significant competitive advantage.
