Case Study: Hanson Professional Services Inc. achieves dramatic CAD productivity gains and fast IT provisioning with Workspot Workstation Cloud

Hanson Professional Services improves productivity for CAD users in branch offices with GPU cloud workstations

Hanson Professional Services is a national engineering and consulting firm whose CAD experts are distributed across main and smaller offices and frequently work from job sites. They faced serious productivity losses when GPU-intensive CAD work over VPNs caused latency, and they needed a way to support mobile users, remote staff, and flexible hiring without costly physical workstations.

Hanson implemented Workspot Workstation Cloud on Microsoft Azure after a quick proof-of-concept, deploying GPU cloud workstations placed in Azure regions nearest users. IT can provision a workstation in 5–10 minutes, enabling CAD work on low-cost laptops, retaining remote employees, simplifying onboarding, and improving performance—often better than physical PCs—leading to higher productivity, more billable hours, and the ability to pursue projects and hires anywhere.
