If you're using in-house FTP servers, email, or web hosting for project collaboration, the Buzzsaw service can reduce:

Overnight delivery and messenger costs. You'll be able to distribute your documents and drawing sets online.
Time spent on file management and administration. You'll be able to spend less time finding files, tracking versions, and managing team members-time that can be better spent on client-billed projects.
IT hardware costs. Our servers can store all your project files.
Time spent on IT support and maintenance. With the Buzzsaw service in place, your IT professionals won't need to maintain FTP or web system resources and can focus on other technology projects.
Travel. The Buzzsaw service's robust communication features will allow you to take fewer trips to manage your remote projects.

Costs associated with the Buzzsaw service are reimbursable-you can pass them on to your clients on a per-project basis.
You'll have state-of-the-art security for all files belonging to you and your clients.
Add as many users to the system as you'd like at no additional cost!
Autodesk provides free, web-based Buzzsaw training each week.
