Cloud Modernization With a cloud-first collaboration setup via Google Workspace and on-prem Windows Server and IIS, West Key Consulting is positioned to adopt modern IT services. This presents opportunities for managed cloud hosting, secure backup and disaster recovery, and security governance to reduce on-site maintenance while improving project collaboration and data protection.

Security & Backup Given the use of Windows Server and IIS, there is a clear opportunity to bolster cybersecurity, patch management, and data protection. Propose vulnerability assessments, ongoing security monitoring, automated patching, and backup/DR as a service to safeguard client designs and project data across engagements.

Design Software West Key specializes in plumbing, mechanical, and electrical design, indicating strong potential for CAD/BIM software optimization, licensing, and workflow automation. Offer design-tool licensing support, BIM integration with existing ASP.NET/IIS apps, and templates to improve accuracy, reduce rework, and accelerate project delivery.

Project Efficiency With revenue in the mid-range and project-based work, there is demand for better financial visibility and operational efficiency. Recommend CRM and ERP integration, project accounting, time-tracking, and invoicing solutions that align milestones with design deliverables to boost margins and cycle times.

Regional Growth Located in Raleigh, NC, the firm can grow through regional partnerships and sub-contracting with larger engineering firms.
