FileCap for architects and engineers: Size of blueprints no longer matters

Dec 14, 2023

In the fields of architecture and engineering, precision and collaboration are paramount. Professionals in these fields are charged with designing and constructing the structures that shape our cities and landscapes. Central to their work are the detailed, large-scale blueprints and construction drawings that serve as the foundation for every project. These documents are not only crucial, but often enormous in size, making traditional methods of sharing and collaboration cumbersome and impractical. Enter FileCap, an email encryption and cloud-based transfer platform that easily enhances communication and frees architects and engineers from the constraints of file size.

The challenge of the blueprint format

Architects and engineers regularly work with complex design files that can be enormous in scope. These documents contain detailed plans, schedules and drawings that are essential to the successful execution of projects. Traditionally, sharing these files via e-mail or other conventional means has been a headache because of file size limitations. Email servers and attachment limits can quickly become a bottleneck, leaving architects and engineers frustrated and impeding project progress.

Reshaping the landscape with FileCap

Recognizing this challenge, FileCap set out to find a solution tailored to the needs of architects and engineers. Founded in 2009, FileCap initially focused on secure file sharing and email encryption, keeping sensitive data protected within an organization's network. Over the years, however, it has evolved into a game-changer for professionals who work with large files, especially architects and engineers.

Unleashing the power of FileCap

This is how FileCap is transforming the way architects and engineers work:

1. Seamless Integration with Outlook

FileCap doesn't disrupt your workflow; it enhances it. Thanks to integration with Outlook via an add-in, sending large attachments becomes effortless. No more worries about file size restrictions, construction document security or slow uploads. With FileCap, architects and engineers can attach their blueprints directly from Outlook, with the confidence that their files will be securely delivered.

2. Easily invite collaborative partners

Collaboration is central to architecture and engineering projects. FileCap understands this need and offers an innovative solution. The "Invite" feature within the Outlook add-in allows professionals to seamlessly request files from contractors, clients or collaboration partners. Does the engineering team need the latest structural calculations? A few clicks in Outlook and the request is on its way.

3. Say goodbye to file size restrictions

You no longer have to worry about file size limitations when you have FileCap. Its powerful infrastructure can effortlessly handle even the largest blueprints and design files. Whether you're managing a small renovation or leading a large-scale infrastructure project, the cloud-based transfer platform FileCap is ready to deliver your files without compromise.

4. Automatic security, as needed, with Business Rules

FileCap not only overcomes the challenge of file size, but also excels at document security in construction. Architects and engineers can easily apply business rules to files, both inside and outside the organization, to ensure the ongoing protection of sensitive information. This ingenious system can automatically trigger security protocols when it detects sensitive data in emails, subject lines or attachments.

5. Seizing the future with FileCap

In this day and age, when the cloud reigns as the preferred platform for fast and scalable software delivery, FileCap has adapted seamlessly. It provides document security in construction, giving architects and engineers the freedom to access their essential files anywhere, anytime. In addition, FileCap meets the specific needs of Managed Service Providers (MSPs), giving them a dedicated platform to securely offer file sharing and email encryption services to their clients.

Closing

FileCap, a cloud-based transfer platform, revolutionizes document management for architects and engineers by eliminating file size limitations. Its powerful infrastructure provides seamless processing of large blueprints and designs. In addition, FileCap prioritizes security, allowing users to apply business rules to protect sensitive information.
