Connect, protect, and operate your Digital Backbone
AEC firms run on high-performance design computing, large files that have to move securely, and intellectual property that has to stay protected. Katalyst operates and continuously improves the Digital Backbone that keeps design, engineering, and field teams productive.

The problems AEC firms face
Architecture, engineering, and construction teams need technology that keeps up with demanding software, large files, tight deadlines, and strict compliance, without getting in the way of the work.
Demanding Design Computing
Revit, AutoCAD, rendering, modeling, and simulation need real horsepower to run without lag or downtime.
Large Files, Many Hands
Oversized project files have to move securely and instantly across teams, clients, and subcontractors.
Protecting Intellectual Property
Designs, budgets, contracts, and blueprints are valuable targets that need strong access control and security.
Field, Office, and Compliance
Crews, project managers, and subs must stay in sync, with environments aligned to ISO and NIST standards.
We operate the Digital Backbone you depend on
We operate the infrastructure, security, and operations that keep your teams designing, building, and delivering.
Connect
Secure, reliable connectivity from the office to the job site.
- Field-to-office platforms that bridge project managers and crews
- Instant, secure sharing of large files and change orders
- Cloud desktops and secure VPNs for remote design
- Mobile networks and on-site Wi-Fi so teams are never stranded
Protect
Security that safeguards your designs and project data.
- Advanced protection for intellectual property and creative assets
- Smart access control so sensitive data reaches only the right people
- Defense for budgets, contracts, and blueprints against cyber threats
- Environments aligned with ISO and NIST from the ground up
Operate
Accountability for the systems your projects depend on.
- High-powered workstations and cloud setups, managed and tuned
- Proactive monitoring that stays ahead of downtime
- Scalable infrastructure that grows with your project load
- Strategic advisory and modernization planning
Technology should support the work, not slow it down.
When IT runs quietly in the background, your teams design, engineer, and build without roadblocks. That is how you hit deadlines, protect your work, and move forward with confidence.
- Bench strength on demand across networking, security, cloud, and high-performance compute
- Coverage without headcount for firms with lean internal IT
- Accountability for outcomes, not just recommendations
- Standardized, repeatable environments for CAD and design applications
