Louisiana
Ener Systems helps architecture firms, design studios, interior architects, and landscape architects across Greater New Orleans, the Northshore, and Baton Rouge stay connected, protected, and productive. We don't offer generic IT support — we deliver specialized, design-tested technology services tailored to the real-world demands of Revit and BIM Collaborate workflows, multi-disciplinary coordination with consulting engineers, and the rendering performance and Autodesk licensing pressures architecture practices run on.
If you're still dealing with Revit performance problems, BIM Collaborate Pro sync failures, or licensing dropouts during a deadline push, you're not alone — and it doesn't have to be this way. We've built our reputation on removing those pain points and giving Louisiana architecture firms the tools to design stronger, safer, and more profitably.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Architecture Firm IT Services
Can you support large CAD files — Revit, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD?
Yes. Architecture firm IT has specific demands: large file sizes (Revit central models routinely 500MB-5GB+), heavy collaboration requirements (multi-user simultaneous editing of central files), fast networked storage for performance, and proper backup of revision history. We design network and storage infrastructure for actual Revit workgroup performance.
How do you handle BIM collaboration workflows — Revit Server, BIM 360, ACC?
We support: Revit Server for on-premise BIM collaboration, BIM 360 (now Autodesk Construction Cloud / ACC) for cloud BIM, Bluebeam Studio for markup collaboration, plus the ancillary tooling (Navisworks for clash detection, AutoCAD for legacy drawings). Cloud BIM has reshaped firm IT — we help firms transition from on-premise Revit Server to ACC when ready.
Can you support large-format printing — wide-format plotters, blueprint workflows?
Yes. Architecture firms typically have HP DesignJet, Canon ImagePrograf, or Epson wide-format plotters. We handle the network setup, print queue management, color profiling, integration with Revit/AutoCAD print workflows, and the ongoing operational issues that come with networked plotters.
How do you handle the Mac + PC reality of architecture firms?
Many architecture firms run mixed environments — principals on Macs, project teams on PCs (since Revit's primary Mac support arrived only recently and remains imperfect). We deploy MDM for both (Jamf for Mac, Intune for PC), proper cross-platform file sharing (typically through M365 with proper sync), Parallels or VMware for Mac users running Revit/AutoCAD, and consistent security policies across both OS families.
Can you support remote rendering and visualization workflows?
Yes. Heavy rendering (V-Ray, Enscape, Lumion, Twinmotion) needs serious compute. Options: high-spec workstations on-premise, render farms (in-house or cloud-based), GPU-accelerated VDI for remote artist access. We help architects evaluate the right approach for their workload — pure cloud (Azure GPU VMs), hybrid (workstations + cloud render burst), or on-premise.
How do you handle confidential project work — competitive bids, sensitive client work?
Engagement-based access controls, separate folders/sites for sensitive projects, MFA on every login, audit logging of confidential project access, encryption of sensitive material at rest and in transit. Plus practical things — secure visitor Wi-Fi (separate from staff), proper visitor escort policies, document destruction procedures for outdated competitive material.
Can you handle integration between Revit/AutoCAD and project accounting/billing?
Yes. We work with Deltek Vision/Vantagepoint, BQE Core, Ajera, Wind2, and other architecture accounting/PM platforms. The integration typically: time tracking from project management into invoicing, project phase management, billing rate automation, project profitability reporting. We handle the IT infrastructure; the accounting vendor handles the application logic.
What's continuity planning for architecture firms with active projects during a hurricane?
Cloud-first BIM models so project work continues from anywhere (no on-premise Revit Server that floods means no project disruption), cloud-replicated drawings and documents, mobile access to project communications and shared workspaces, business continuity insurance documentation we help prepare. The deliverables continue even if the office takes damage.
