About Randall Schultz

Virtual Private Cloud for the AEC Industry

I’m Randall Schultz, the owner of CaddForce LLC. I work as an Authorized Agent of Advance2000, a provider of private cloud and virtual desktop services for architecture, engineering and construction firms.

My previous industry experience with Lillibridge, a healthcare developer, is where I learned how to make things run much more efficiently. It’s also where I saw that technology and process go hand in hand: the best tools don’t help much if the way your team works doesn’t change with them. I bring that view to every conversation with an AEC firm. CaddForce LLC has been around since 2007.

Here is how I work. I don’t host or run anything myself. Advance2000 provides the service and offers different support plans, and most firms choose Silver support and manage their own applications. I help you figure out whether it fits your firm and walk you through the steps: a free demo, then a pilot on a live project, then a contract with Advance2000. After that, I stay involved in your projects and the relationship. I also make site visits because nothing replaces face time away from a monitor. Video calls have their place, but there’s nothing better than sitting down with a customer, talking with the people who use the solution every day, and building a relationship as a trusted partner. Your contract is with Advance2000.

Every pilot I run includes CAD and BIM applications, and my customers quickly see the value of moving all of their desktop and server infrastructure to Advance2000, not just the demanding apps. High-performance virtual desktops with dedicated graphics are a specialty, and they’re one of several things Advance2000 does for AEC firms. If you’d like to see how it could work for your firm, get in touch or book a free demo.
