Egnyte

Connecting critical project workflows to the cloud without compromise.

The Newforma Project Center (NPC) + Egnyte connector integrates Newforma’s project information management platform with Egnyte’s cloud-first content collaboration and storage system. It allows architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms to modernize their IT infrastructure by shifting from legacy on-premises file servers to Egnyte’s hybrid cloud storage, while continuing to leverage NPC’s core workflows such as email filing, RFI/Submittal tracking, project data exchange, and indexed search.

The connector ensures two-way synchronization of project data so users can interact seamlessly with both Newforma Project Center and Egnyte without compromising performance, collaboration, or security.

Benefits

Reduce on-premises infrastructure and IT overhead
Modernize collaboration while preserving Newforma workflows
Improve accessibility (no VPN needed)
Scale easily for 20TB+ project datasets
Strengthen governance and compliance with Egnyte
