The construction industry is renowned for its dynamic environments and dispersed teams, making seamless access to project data critical. However, many companies still rely on outdated systems like VPNs and RDP setups, which hinder productivity and flexibility. This blog explores how Triofox redefined remote access for a leading construction company, demonstrating the value of modern cloud-based solutions.
The Challenge: Outdated Remote Access Systems
Construction companies often grapple with inefficiencies caused by legacy systems for remote file access. A prominent construction firm in North Texas, referred to here as “the Company,” faced these issues firsthand. Their VPN and RDP systems were cumbersome, limiting access to one network folder at a time and slowing down workflows, particularly for team members working from job trailers or remote sites across Texas.
The Discovery: Identifying the Need for Change
Recognizing these limitations, the Company’s leadership sought a modern solution that could streamline remote access while maintaining security and integration with their existing IT infrastructure. After assessing their needs, they partnered with Gladinet to explore a cloud-based solution: Triofox.
