Support the project workflow before the proof deadline
BCT turns the current IT environment into a clearer support and readiness plan. The goal is to identify what exists, what is weak, who owns each fix, and what evidence should be maintained before the next customer, contract, or assessment request.

What BCT includes for AEC CMMC/NIST IT Support
- Project files spread across SharePoint, OneDrive, servers, cloud drives, vendor portals, and local workstations.
- Bluebeam, Autodesk, CAD/BIM, estimating, accounting, and project-management tools with unclear support boundaries.
- Remote users, jobsite access, VPN, WiFi, consultants, and external sharing that grew over time.
- Microsoft 365 and Azure settings that work day to day but are not documented for review.
- Endpoint, backup, restore, access-review, and admin-role evidence that is hard to find.
- Client, prime-contractor, or insurer questionnaires that ask specific IT control questions.
Why architecture, engineering, construction, and technical-services firms choose Business Computer Technicians
AEC firms have workflow risks that generic MSP pages miss. A project folder may include drawings, submittals, specifications, emails, model exports, field photos, client data, and vendor collaboration. Access may involve employees, subcontractors, consultants, and clients. A workstation may need reliable performance for design tools while still meeting patching, endpoint, backup, and access expectations.
The readiness path has to respect those workflows. The goal is to reduce confusion, not add paperwork no one can maintain.
Who We Serve
- Architecture, engineering, construction, and technical-services firms.
- Teams using Microsoft 365, Azure, project files, field access, CAD/BIM tools, Bluebeam, Autodesk, and vendor portals.

Who We Help
- Map systems, users, project-file locations, vendors, and remote-access paths.
- Clean up identity, devices, backups, Microsoft cloud, and support documentation.
- Build owner-readable evidence and remediation tasks without claiming certification outcomes.

Talk to BCT about AEC CMMC/NIST IT Support
Can BCT certify our organization?
No. BCT supports the IT control layer, documentation inputs, cleanup, and ongoing support. Formal certification, legal interpretation, and assessor decisions belong with the appropriate C3PAO, attorney, or compliance advisor.
Can you help with Microsoft 365 and Azure evidence?
Yes. BCT can help review users, groups, MFA, admin roles, cloud resources, endpoints, backups, logging, and other support records that owners or advisors may need to evaluate.
What should we bring to the first call?
Bring the approximate user and device count, Microsoft 365 or Azure overview, known deadlines, any questionnaire or gap list, and whether controlled or customer-sensitive data is confirmed or suspected.
What is the best next step?
Request a AEC CMMC/NIST IT Support review so the current environment can be translated into owner-assigned next steps.
Clear Ownership
Readable priorities, owners, dates, and next steps instead of vague compliance noise.
Practical Evidence
Screenshots, exports, inventories, and support records that match the real environment.
Ongoing Support
A support rhythm that keeps access, backups, endpoints, and documentation from drifting.
