1. What’s included in Engineering Design IT Support?
24/7 help desk, remote assistance, on-site support, workstation/server upkeep, license server care, and vendor coordination for CAD/BIM/PLM tools.
2. Which design applications do you support?
AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, Inventor, SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, Siemens NX, SketchUp, Bluebeam, and more—plus PDM/PLM (Vault, SOLIDWORKS PDM).
3. Can you fix slow opens, crashes, or lag in CAD?
Yes—GPU/driver baselines, profile cleanup, network/SMB tuning, NVMe scratch paths, and model health checks to cut load/render times.
4. Do you manage license servers and seats?
We maintain FlexLM/network licenses, renewals, usage reporting, and right-sizing so your teams have seats when deadlines hit.
5. How do you support remote and field engineers?
Zero-trust/VPN access, cloud desktops (GPU VDI), optimized sync, and UC integrations so site photos, markups, and models stay in sync.
6. Will you coordinate with software vendors for tough cases?
Absolutely—escalations with Autodesk/Dassault/Siemens support, plus ISV plug-ins, printers/plotters, and point-cloud hardware vendors.
7. How do you handle patching and drivers without breaking projects?
Ring-based change management: test in pilot, schedule after-hours rollouts, and snapshot backups for safe rollback.
8. Can you secure drawings and project IP?
MFA/SSO, DLP for CAD filetypes, role-based PDM access, encrypted shares, email security, and immutable backups for rapid recovery.
9. Do you help with collaboration and large-file performance?
Yes—QoS and SD-WAN policies, global file acceleration, version-aware sync, and Teams/SharePoint/Drive hardening for design reviews.
