What eQuorum does

eQuorum Corporation is a privately-held engineering document management software company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1987 as an independent profit center within Byers Engineering Company, spun out as CADNET Corporation in 1996, and renamed eQuorum Corporation following a 1999 merger with Image Machines Corporation, the company has operated for over 27 years serving AEC, manufacturing, utilities, energy, transportation, and government organizations.

The company's product portfolio is built entirely in HTML5, eliminating client software or Java deployment requirements, and is offered in three deployment modes: ImageSite (on-premise or private cloud), EngineBox (cloud SaaS hosted on AWS), and Hybrid Cloud (combining both with automatic file and workflow movement). Around these cores, eQuorum sells a broad set of modules including Plot Station (large-format printing), 3PDirect (third-party collaboration without VPN), ScanNTap (QR-code document access), Workflow+, Data List Management, Configuration Management, submittals/RFI/change order management, mobile data access, and a NIST compliance solution. The platform integrates with Autodesk (since 1990), Bentley Systems (since 1987), SOLIDWORKS, SAP (Certified Integration), Oracle, and major plotting hardware vendors (Canon, HP, KIP), and supports FedRAMP, ITAR, NIST SP 800-53/171, SOC I/II/III, ISO 9001, PCI DSS Level 1, and HIPAA/HITECH compliance for regulated buyers.

eQuorum monetizes through a mix of SaaS subscriptions (concurrent user, named user, and monthly billing tiers for EngineBox), perpetual on-premise licensing (ImageSite), cloud storage add-ons, and professional services (implementation, integration, training, NIST compliance assessment). Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, a worldwide authorized reseller network covering North America, Europe, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Australia/South Asia, and Africa, an AWS Marketplace listing, and technology partner co-marketing with CAD, ERP, and printing hardware vendors. Named customers include NASA, NOAA, General Dynamics, Hormel Foods, Electro Motive, Minnesota Power, Idaho Power, Alliant Energy, Auburn University, the City of Toronto, and Vancouver Airport Authority.
