As the quality of digital photos continually improves, and as Computer Aided Design [CAD] software becomes ever more sophisticated, managing image files becomes increasingly challenging for architecture firms and similar businesses. The IT team of Akron, Ohio-based GPD Group has solved this problem by implementing Symantec solutions for archiving and data protection. As a result, it has avoided staff increases, reduced spending on storage capacity by $32,000 a year, and avoided purchasing an expensive content management system.
