If You’re a Remote Worker and Exchange CAD data or other Intellectual Property, These Tools will Help

The impact of COVID-19 has left much of the manufacturing and supply chain industry at a standstill. Stock markets have fallen to record lows, unemployment is at an all-time high, entire industries such as the airlines are asking for bailouts, retail shops have closed, and most states have imposed stay-at-home orders.

Prior to the outbreak of the coronavirus in the US, CEOs, CIO/CTO’s and upper leadership sought to drive digital transformation and push towards efficiency and optimization in the workplace. IoT, blockchain and 3D printing were just some of the cutting-edge technologies our leaders focused on with a vision of the ‘factory of the future”.

Perhaps the biggest driving factor now spearheading change isn’t the C-level executive, but rather a global pandemic. The coronavirus has challenged us to quickly adapt to an ever-changing workplace. From remote working and collaboration to staying in touch and keeping a sense of ‘normality’, all aspects of our daily work routines have been affected.

For those of us in the engineering field, we are called to collaborate and exchange data (even CAD) data from a remote environment. During this unprecedented surge of remote work, it’s vital to have the ability to easily and securely exchange files and data.

Further, during these uncertain times businesses often struggle to keep afloat and leadership may look towards mergers, acquisitions and/or divestitures. These scenarios play a vital role in your supply chain.
