Hanson Professional Services boosts CAD productivity in 5–10 minutes with Workspot

Hanson Professional Services Inc., an engineering and consulting firm, faced a challenge where designers in remote branch offices experienced severe performance issues when trying to access CAD files over VPN. This hindered productivity and the firm's ability to grow by pursuing new business across different geographies. To solve this, the firm turned to Workspot for its cloud workstation solution.

The solution deployed was Workspot Workstation Cloud alongside a virtual Panzura instance in Microsoft Azure, providing GPU-powered cloud workstations for CAD applications. This allowed employees to work from low-cost laptops. The results were significant, with the IT team able to spin up new workstations in under ten minutes, CAD engineers increasing their billable hours, and the firm gaining the flexibility to hire talent from anywhere to support new opportunities.
