Case Study: Glider Yachts achieves secure remote document collaboration and IP protection with WorkShare

Glider Yachts Ltd secure document collaboration with Workshare

Glider Yachts, founded by Robert McCall to create sea‑sickness‑reducing superyachts, needed a secure way to manage large, sensitive design files while working with freelancers, designers and clients around the world. Relying on email and USB sticks was risky, so they required a centrally managed, brandable system accessible from any device and location.

In 2013 they rolled out Workshare 9 (sharing edition) with the desktop sync app, creating a single secure repository and client‑specific spaces for controlled external sharing. The result was protected IP, faster collaboration and greater client confidence—helping the team launch their first boat in 2016 and continue expanding the Glider range.
