FAQ
Answers to common IT questions from architecture practices.
Find out which IT support suits your practice, what matters for CAD data and which factors determine costs.
Does novoSYS support Archicad and Vectorworks?
novoSYS supports the IT environment around Archicad and Vectorworks: workstations, network shares, cloud sync, permissions, backup, plotters and performance. Specialist CAD design remains with the practice or its CAD partner.
How can CAD performance be improved in an architecture practice?
Suitable workstations, fast networks, stable storage, clear project folders and controlled cloud synchronisation matter. novoSYS analyses data flows, devices, networks and common project bottlenecks.
Is Microsoft 365 suitable for architecture project storage?
Microsoft 365 can work well when SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, permissions, naming conventions and backup are planned properly. CAD and BIM files must not be synchronised without control.
What backup strategy makes sense for BIM and CAD data?
A multi-layer strategy combines versioning, backup outside the production environment, ransomware protection and regular restore tests. Large project files need clear recovery objectives.
Does novoSYS offer IT support in Lucerne, Sursee, Zurich and Hedingen?
Yes. From Sursee and Zurich/Hedingen, novoSYS combines remote support with on-site appointments for architecture practices in German-speaking Switzerland.
How much does IT support for an architecture practice cost?
Costs depend on workstation numbers, locations, cloud setup, support scope, backup, telephony and security requirements. In an initial consultation, novoSYS assesses the situation and recommends practical next steps.
