Massive Project Files Grinding Systems to a Halt

AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, and BIM files can top hundreds of gigabytes. Slow networks, insufficient RAM, and the wrong storage architecture cost you billable hours every single day.

Collaborating Across Multiple Job Sites

Your team spans the studio, client offices, and active construction sites. Getting everyone securely connected to the same live project files — without VPN headaches — is a real challenge.

Protecting Confidential Client Designs

Client schematics, proprietary design concepts, and NDA-covered materials sitting in an email inbox or on an unencrypted laptop are a liability waiting to happen.

Fear of Losing Years of Project Data

One ransomware attack, one hardware failure, one accidental deletion — and a decade of project archives could be gone. Most firms we talk to have backups they've never actually tested.

Workstations That Can't Keep Up with the Software

3D rendering and real-time visualization push hardware hard. Outdated workstations slow rendering times, create bottlenecks, and frustrate your best designers.

IT Issues Pulling Your Team Off Billable Work

Every hour your team spends troubleshooting printers, VPNs, or email is an hour not spent designing, modeling, or managing client relationships. That's real money walking out the door.

IT Problems That Hit Architecture Firms Differently

Generic IT support was built for generic companies. Architects have specific, demanding needs that most MSPs don't understand - until something expensive breaks.

Cybersecurity for Design Firms

We protect your client data, project files, and email with endpoint protection, email filtering, multi-factor authentication, and dark web monitoring — so your sensitive work stays yours.

Includes phishing simulation training for your team.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Automated, encrypted, tested backups for your CAD files, BIM models, and project archives. We don't just set it and forget it — we verify recovery monthly so you know it actually works.

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) defined and guaranteed.

High-Performance Network Design

Fast, reliable local and cloud networking built to move large files without bottlenecks. We design and manage your LAN, Wi-Fi, and cloud storage to match the demands of CAD/BIM workflows.

Optimized for large file transfer and remote collaboration

Workstation Procurement & Management

We spec, source, configure, and support the high-performance workstations your team needs for rendering and visualization — from CAD-grade GPUs to NAS storage for your local file server.

Vendor-agnostic recommendations, no markup games.

Help Desk That Actually Helps

When your team hits a wall, they call us — not Google. Live support from Austin-based engineers who know your environment. Most issues resolved in under an hour, without you getting involved.

Unlimited remote support.

Microsoft 365 & Cloud Storage Collaboration

Full Microsoft 365 deployment, management, and security configured correctly. Team integration. Egnyte for secure and remote file sharing.

Including secure external file sharing for clients & contractors

WHY ARCHITECTURE FIRMS CHOOSE RIATA

We're Local. We're Accountable. We Speak Your Language.

We Know Architecture Workflows

We support firms running AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, ArchiCAD, and BIM 360. We don't need a crash course in what you do, we already know your software stack and storage demands.
