AutoCAD, Autodesk & Design Software Support
Your engineers depend on AutoCAD, Autodesk, Photoshop, and other design platforms that demand high-performance hardware and properly configured networks. We manage your software environments including installation, licensing, updates, and troubleshooting so your design team never loses productivity waiting on IT issues.
High-Performance Workstation Management
Engineering software requires serious processing power, memory, and graphics capability. We spec, deploy, and maintain workstations that are built for the demands of CAD rendering, 3D modeling, and large-format design work so your engineers are never held back by underpowered hardware.
Microsoft Project & Collaboration Tools Support
Keeping projects on schedule requires reliable access to Microsoft Project, SharePoint, Teams, and other collaboration platforms. We manage your project management environment so your team can track timelines, share documents, and coordinate across departments without technical interruptions.
Project Data Backup & Recovery
CAD drawings, design files, project specifications, and client deliverables represent hundreds of hours of work. We set up automated daily backups stored securely offsite so your firm’s project data is always recoverable from hardware failure, ransomware, or accidental deletion.
Multi-Office & Remote Access for Field Engineers
Engineers working from job sites, client offices, or home need secure access to project files and design software. We configure remote access and VPN connections so your team can pull up drawings and project data from anywhere without compromising network security.
Help Desk & Ongoing IT Support
When AutoCAD crashes in the middle of a rendering or your team can’t access project files from a job site, you need it fixed fast. Your team gets a direct line to real technicians who resolve issues remotely or onsite across the Greater New Orleans area.

Why Greater New Orleans Engineering Firms Choose Network Tactics
We understand that engineering firms have technology demands that go far beyond basic office IT. Your software is specialized, your files are massive, and your deadlines leave no room for system failures.
AutoCAD and Autodesk Expertise
Most IT providers treat design software like any other application. We understand the hardware requirements, licensing structures, and network configurations that AutoCAD, Autodesk, and Photoshop need to run properly. Your design tools get the IT support they actually require.
Workstations Built for Engineering Workloads
We don’t hand your engineers a standard office desktop and hope it works. We spec and deploy workstations with the processing power, RAM, graphics cards, and storage that your design and modeling software demands. Every machine is configured for the work your team actually does.
Certified Expertise in Data Security
Our founder Roddy Orgeron is a Certified Computer Examiner (CCE) with specialized training in computer forensics and digital evidence handling. That background gives Network Tactics a level of data protection knowledge that most local IT providers do not offer, which matters when your firm handles proprietary designs and sensitive client projects.

IT Challenges Engineering Firms Face in Greater New Orleans
A Weak Cybersecurity Posture That Leaves You Vulnerable to Threats.
Slow Performance From Underpowered Hardware
AutoCAD renderings, 3D models, and large design files bring standard office computers to a crawl. When your engineers spend more time waiting for files to load than actually designing, your project timelines suffer and your firm loses billable hours.
Large File Management Across Teams
Engineering projects generate massive files that need to be shared, versioned, and stored properly. Without a well-configured file server or cloud environment, your team ends up emailing oversized attachments, overwriting each other’s work, or losing track of the latest version of critical project files.
Cyberattacks Targeting Proprietary Designs
Engineering firms hold valuable intellectual property including proprietary designs, infrastructure plans, and client project data. According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), firms in the architecture, engineering, and construction sectors are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals seeking access to sensitive project information.
Disconnected Field and Office Teams
When engineers on a job site can’t access the same files and systems as the office team, communication breaks down and project progress stalls. Poor remote access and inconsistent network setups between locations create gaps that cost your firm time and money on every project.
How Managed IT Solves These Problems for Engineering Firms
Hardware and Software That Match Your Workload
We make sure every workstation, server, and network component in your firm is configured for the software your team runs daily. AutoCAD doesn’t crash because someone is working on a machine that was never built to handle it. Your engineers get tools that match their work.
Proactive Monitoring That Prevents Project Delays
We monitor your servers, workstations, and network around the clock. When a system starts showing signs of trouble, we catch it and fix it before it interrupts a deadline. Your firm stays productive without emergency IT calls derailing your project schedule.
A Technology Partner That Understands Engineering Workflows
We don’t just keep your systems running. We understand how engineering teams work, from large file collaboration to remote site access to high-demand rendering tasks. Your IT is managed by a team that knows why performance matters for every task your engineers do.
