Navigating the Cloud Transition: How Pye-Barker Fire & Safety Achieved Seamless Data Integration with Triofox

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, companies across various industries face unique challenges in managing their data and infrastructure, especially amidst aggressive expansion and acquisition strategies. For companies like Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, rapid expansion isn't just about scaling operations but also efficiently managing and integrating vast amounts of data from acquired entities. These companies face the daunting task of migrating data, particularly large CAD files, from on-premises systems to the cloud, all while ensuring data security, compliance, and seamless access across their expanding networks.

Before embracing Triofox, Pye-Barker Fire & Safety grappled with the complexities of a rapidly expanding enterprise, striving to integrate an average of 5-6 newly acquired companies monthly into their cloud-first infrastructure. This ambitious growth trajectory was hindered by costly and inefficient data migration processes, particularly for critical CAD files essential to their operations in the fire, life safety, and security industry. The existing solutions, Egnyte and SharePoint, imposed significant limitations in terms of cost and their ability to securely and efficiently share and manage these large, sensitive files across a nationwide network. The challenge was further compounded by the need for a seamless integration with Azure Active Directory for single sign-on capabilities, ensuring both ease of access and stringent security measures were in place. This scenario painted a clear picture: Pye-Barker Fire & Safety was in dire need of a solution that could streamline their data migration and management processes and align with their cloud-first strategy while mitigating the prohibitive costs and technical constraints of their previous systems.
