We’ve all heard it, the classic IT fix: “Have you tried turning it off and back on again?” And sure, sometimes that quick reboot does the trick. But what happens when the issues run deeper – when it’s not just a frozen screen or a glitchy app, but escalating help desk tickets, CAD performance lags, network instability, or security concerns?That’s when you need more than a quick fix. It’s time to bring in the experts. With CADimensions and Advance2000, you get a strategic IT partner equipped to handle the heavy lifting, so your team can stay focused on what truly matters.
Learn why we stopped waiting on help desk tickets and started leading with advanced IT infrastructure.
The Limitations of DIY IT Fixes
While basic troubleshooting can resolve minor hiccups, it often falls short when real issues surface. Common workplace tech frustrations like sluggish networks, delayed data access, and inconsistent remote connections, go far beyond what a simple restart can fix. CAD software is highly sensitive to performance drops and when it lags, entire projects can stall. Network bottlenecks and latency issues not only frustrate users but also chip away at productivity. Relying on patchwork solutions or overburdened internal teams increases the risk of extended downtime and missed deadlines, costing more than just time.
“Opengear teamed with OnePoll to commission a global survey of 500 senior IT decision makers. The "Measuring the True Cost of Network Downtime" Survey asked respondents a variety of questions with topics ranging from number of outages and causes of disruptions to networking priorities and resilience strategies. For example, the survey found that in the past year, more than half of respondents had four or more outages, that lasted more than 30 minutes – costing in excess of $130,000 each time to remediate.
The Reality of Today’s IT Demands
Modern engineering and manufacturing environments rely on increasingly complex IT infrastructures. As teams grow more connected, and projects become more data-intensive – seamless collaboration, secure cloud access, and rock-solid data protection are essential. High-performance applications like SOLIDWORKS and Simulation tools demand finely tuned systems to run efficiently. Without an optimized IT environment, performance bottlenecks can slow innovation and frustrate users. Supporting this level of technology requires more than general IT knowledge, it calls for a specialized approach tailored to the unique needs of design and engineering teams.
Why CADimensions + Advance2000 Are the Right Partners
When it comes to managing the demands of modern engineering and design, CADimensions and Advance2000 offer a powerful, complementary partnership. CADimensions brings deep industry expertise in design and engineering software, offering workflow consulting and software optimization to ensure your tools run at peak efficiency.
On the infrastructure side, Advance2000 delivers high-performance cloud computing tailored specifically for AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction), manufacturing, and design teams. Their virtual desktops are optimized for CAD and 3D rendering, backed by scalable, secure infrastructure.
Together, they provide a seamless experience from software to hardware – designed to meet the unique needs of technical teams. The results are tangible: reduced downtime, faster load and render times, streamlined IT support, and environments that scale as your team grows. It’s not just support, it’s strategic enablement.
Your IT Is a Competitive Advantage, Treat It as Such
Too often IT is treated as a reactive function, something to call on when things go wrong. But in today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, that approach is costly. Downtime, delayed projects, and distracted teams all add up. Investing in proactive IT management transforms technology from a source of frustration into a strategic asset. By outsourcing your IT infrastructure and support to specialists like CADimensions and Advance2000, you gain technical expertise, an operational advantage and peace of mind. With reliable systems, optimized performance, and expert support – your team stays productive, your business stays resilient, and you’re always ready for what’s next.
