"Architects can't work from home" claims a recent article from the UK Architect's journal.
"Companies don't have enough laptops; it's difficult to co-ordinate CAD drawings from home – if you even have CAD at home as the licenses are so expensive; you need to be able to print things and sketch ideas out collaboratively; even if work laptops are available, you won't be able to use Revit," said architects from the UK Architect's Journal.
This resulted in quite a heated debate on twitter. We believe that what the article meant to say is not that architects can't work from home; but rather, that they can't without the right set-up or WFH tools.
建筑师如何才能远程访问Revit或其他占用大量CPU /资源的软件？
他们如何像在办公室一样在家中工作？

一家领先的建筑师领导的公司如何在48小时内使1350名员工加入居家办公
BDP, an international, interdisciplinary practice of architects, designers, engineers, and urbanists, got all employees working remotely in 48 hours with Splashtop Remote Access Solutions.
该公司面临与上述挑战类似的挑战：
>员工会否拥有一台可以在家中连接的个人计算机，还是只拥有公司发行的笔记本电脑？
> BDP如何保持一切稳定，包括使用Revit等软件？
除了这些挑战之外，COVID19还带来了紧迫感。
BDP had a staff base of approximately 1,350 in 16 locations around the world, who already had 650 laptop users, and who could all connect into the BDP network using Microsoft Direct Access, allowing day-to-day working from any location. However, while this system worked successfully for the majority of software architects used, it did not work for Revit. In addition to Revit, BDP had over 400 separate software titles that needed to be installed on each user's machine if they were to use them to work remotely.
"It would have been an impossible task to install all these natively as many did not work at all when off LANs," said Alistair Kell, Principal and head of information technology and processes at BDP. It would also have been quite costly to purchase so many additional licenses for 400 software titles.
那就是Splashtop可以发挥作用的时候。
Splashtop：一种可靠、安全、易于使用的远程访问解决方案。
Splashtop Remote Access allowed 1,350 BDP architects to remotely access their work machines as if there were sitting in front of them. So there was no longer a need for natively installing any software on the laptops, and remote work could be enabled faster.
BDP的内部IT团队将Splashtop Streamer部署到了所有机器上，并且每个地点的员工都将员工与机器ID相匹配并进行注册
使用Splashtop组织对他们工作计算机的使用。
整个过程耗时一个星期，而当BDP宣布需要完全远程化，仅花了48小时即可使公司实现远程化。
BDP is now using Splashtop Remote Access across all locations from Toronto through the UK, MENA, India, and China. You can read the full BDP story here.
