Why AEC Firms and Mining Companies are using Egnyte?

Businesses use a variety of different cloud solutions. Microsoft 365 as a standalone suite of applications simply doesn’t meet the needs of certain industries. One popular file solution, particularly for Minerals & Metal companies and the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is Egnyte; an integrated cloud solution that enables secure file access, sharing and storage from anywhere, with any device with seamless integration with Windows and Office 365. It’s an ideal solution for data-reliant businesses with complex folder structures that need to manage file access at every level.
