IT Services For Houston Engineering & Energy Firms

Managed IT Services for Engineering | Houston’s Engineering & Energy IT Experts
Engineering teams live and die by schedules, models, and deliverables. Impress Computers provides specialized managed IT services for engineering firms in Houston, supporting offshore, energy, infrastructure, and industrial projects. We keep your CAD/BIM, simulation, and project management systems fast, secure, and available so your engineers can hit milestones instead of fighting with technology.

Why Houston Engineering & Energy Firms Choose Us

  • 15-Minute IT Support Response – When a project deadline is on the line, your engineers do not have hours to wait for IT. Our rapid response keeps your teams moving.
  • 99.9% Uptime for Project Systems – We design resilient networks, servers, and cloud environments that keep your models, drawings, and project data online, even during crunch time.
  • Engineering-Savvy IT Team – We understand the tools and workflows you rely on, like AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, SolidWorks, plant design suites, and offshore or energy apps, so we can support both your office and your field teams.

🛠 Core IT Problems We Solve For Engineering Firms

1. Slow Access to Large CAD & Model Files
Massive drawings and 3D models choke networks and file servers, making it painful for engineers to open, save, and share work. We optimize your network, storage, and cloud so large files load quickly, versioning is clean, and teams can collaborate without lag.

2. Remote & Offshore Teams Cannot Reliably Access Project Data
Whether your engineers are offshore, in refineries, on infrastructure sites, or traveling between client offices, they need secure access to the latest drawings, models, and documentation. We design VPNs, secure remote desktops, and cloud workspaces that work in real-world field conditions, not just in the office.

3. Cybersecurity & Compliance Risk With Client IP
Your clients trust you with proprietary designs, plant layouts, and operational data, often in highly regulated sectors like energy, refining, and infrastructure. We implement layered security, MFA, zero trust access, and compliance support such as NIST and ISO 27001 to protect sensitive intellectual property and keep you audit ready.

4. No Clear Disaster Recovery Plan For Projects
When hurricanes, power outages, or ransomware hit, you cannot afford to lose designs or delay a shutdown, turnaround, or subsea project. We build backup and disaster recovery plans tailored to engineering data so your project archives, models, and documentation are protected and recoverable within defined RPO and RTO targets.

“Impress Computers keeps our engineers working instead of waiting on IT, we do not stress about our infrastructure anymore.”

Our 3 Step ProcessTo Better IT For Engineering Firms

1

Schedule a Free Discovery Call A 15 minute review of your project workflows, key applications, and where IT is slowing your teams down.

2

Engineering IT & Security Audit Full evaluation of your network, servers, cloud, CAD and BIM environments, and cybersecurity gaps, with practical recommendations.

Elevate Your IT Experience

The Impress team works with engineering and technical firms that cannot afford IT guesswork. Our experienced, courteous, and technically strong staff take time to understand your project deadlines, client expectations, and field realities.

Clients that choose to work with our team opt in to an environment that genuinely cares about their success as a business. When your teams perform well, so do we, and we treat your projects as if they were our own. This mindset guides how we design your infrastructure, secure your data, and support your people, leading to long term partnerships built on trust and results.

The Problem With Traditional IT Providers

Most IT firms are built for generic offices, not engineering projects. They do not understand what it means when a model will not open and the FEED review is tomorrow, or when a refinery team cannot access updated drawings, or when a license server goes down and half your engineering team is idle.

They respond late. They do not know your tools. And too often, they leave your engineers to work around IT instead of being supported by it.

Common Tech Risks For Houston Engineering & Energy Firms

  • Slow access to large drawings and models causing missed deadlines and frustrated engineers.
  • Unsecured remote connections into project data from offshore, plant, or field locations.
  • Insufficient backups for project files, calculations, and documentation.
  • Weak cybersecurity around client IP and operational data in energy and infrastructure environments.
  • No tested disaster recovery plan for hurricanes, power loss, or ransomware.

These are not just IT issues, they affect safety, reliability, and client confidence.
