Enabling Global Collaboration at Scale
Challenge
Previous VDI solutions failed to support large CAD files, limiting global collaboration.
Solution
Creative ITC delivered a scalable Desktop as a Service solution on VDIPod within six weeks.
Results
Faster access to large datasets, improved productivity, and seamless collaboration across continents.
Starting Point
With 37,000 employees across more than 160 countries, AtkinsRéalis needed a global remote working platform capable of connecting architects, designers, and engineers in real time. Earlier VDI solutions had fallen short, struggling to handle the large CAD and Revit models critical to project delivery.
When the pandemic struck, the need became urgent AtkinsRéalis required a scalable, high-performance platform that could be deployed worldwide with speed and reliability.
Transformation
Creative ITC deployed its purpose-built Desktop as a Service (DaaS) platform in just six weeks. The rollout began in the UK before extending to India, SE Asia, and North America, enabling 1,500 users.
By overcoming latency issues and legacy system limitations, our VDIPod solution delivered the speed, resilience, and scalability required for hybrid working and international collaboration.
Outcome
AtkinsRéalis employees now enjoy faster access to large datasets reduced from hours to just minutes and greater productivity when sharing designs and project files.
The solution provided seamless business continuity during the pandemic and now underpins a future-ready hybrid working model, empowering teams to collaborate globally across disciplines and time zones with unprecedented efficiency.
