IT Support for Engineering Companies

Providing IT support for engineering firms for 25+ years

Engineering firms juggle tight deadlines, complex projects, multiple clients, and countless other issues — they can’t be slowed down by unreliable, laggy IT networks. Engineering companies also need to ensure they meet the cybersecurity needs of their clients, especially when working with government and municipal contracts.

PCG has experience meeting the unique technology demands of engineering firms, and we want success for our Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Structural, Industrial, HVAC, Electrical, and Chemical Engineering companies.

IT Compliance for Engineering Firms

Engineering firms must be compliant with a variety of different regulations related to their industry, their software, and their clients, and these regulations can change quickly. We ensure that all your technology meets relevant compliance standards, whether you’re dealing with CAD licensing or cybersecurity requirements for government, military, or municipal clients.

Our highly effective approach to IT compliance starts with a risk assessment where we look at your data access and storage methods, workflows, software compliance requirements, backup processes, and network and remote access. Then, we work with you to prioritize and address any issues of concern. We can also provide one-time or continuous compliance training to your team.

A lack of compliance can lead to fines, penalties, and lost contracts — protect your engineering company’s bottom line by taking a proactive approach to compliance.

Protecting Data for Engineering Firms

Engineering firms share a lot of confidential data with clients, project managers, suppliers, and partners, and you need a comprehensive data security policy to ensure your data is as safe as possible. Our IT services for engineering firms can help you minimize data and cybersecurity threats.

We provide a cybersecurity risk assessment score to all new clients, and we look for any vulnerabilities or gaps in your cybersecurity efforts.

Then, we implement a multi-pronged cybersecurity strategy that includes firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs) for multiple job sites or remote workers, antivirus software, endpoint detection response (EDR), advanced threat detection, Multifactor Authentication, Security Awareness Training and other security strategies depending on the unique concerns of your engineering company.

Cybersecurity is not a one-time process. To protect your data and your reputation, you need continuous security, and we provide that through regular security maintenance and updates, patching, and constant network monitoring.

IT Solutions to Boost Your Success

IT solutions do not exist in a vacuum. The right IT can help your engineering company improve its productivity, performance, and success. Our team ensures your network is reliable, your data is secure and backed up, and your other IT needs are met so that you can focus on the rest of your business’s needs.

To preserve business continuity, we provide proactive 24/7/365 monitoring of your network, and we quickly resolve any issues that may lead to downtime or cost you time and money. We also offer 8/5 or 24/7 help desk services so that your employees can get help with their IT concerns as quickly and easily as possible.

VCIO and IT Strategy Review Sessions

We hold virtual chief information officer (VCIO) and IT strategy review (ITSR) meetings with our engineering clients, and during those meetings, we talk with leadership team about the company’s upcoming IT needs.

Being proactive about your IT needs saves you money in the long run, and it helps you to avoid unexpected downtime or repair costs.

During these ITSR sessions, we don’t just look at IT on its own. Instead, we talk with you about your upcoming business goals, issues and where you want to take your business. This allows us to create a roadmap, timeline, and a budget so your company can plan for your future IT needs. We don’t want you to spend $1 dollar without knowing what it means and how it will help your business make money.

Optimizing Engineering Processes and IT Requirements

At PCG, we know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to IT, and we customize all our offerings and solutions to meet the unique needs of our clients. We develop a plan that provides you with the IT infrastructure and management you need, and at the same time, we reduce costs, boost efficiency, and improve the IT experience for your team.

We can help your engineering company optimize the following:

  • Compliance
  • Workstation Blueprint to optimize your CAD users requirements
  • Email MFA and Encryption
  • Disaster recovery and business continuity
  • Wi-Fi reliability and security
  • Data security
  • Document management
  • CAD licensing keys
  • Line of business (LOB) application integration with other programs such as MS 365, QuickBooks, and more

To put it simply — we will help you optimize the IT you need to make your engineering firm grow as strong and as profitable as possible.

Software Applications and IT Support for Engineers

We have experience working with leading engineering software vendors, and we can help your engineering company set up, upgrade, and maintain CAD and other software applications. If you’re ready to invest in a new LOB application, we can verify all your software and hardware needs as well as labor costs to ensure you make the best choice possible for your company. PCG will be your liaison with your Software Vendors to determine whether you should run this on your Server (on-premise) or in the Cloud and assist with any licensing keys. We will verify all hardware, software, and labor costs and help you determine which path is best for your company and provide the best Return on Investment (ROI).
