Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Technical Review Session?

A Technical Review Session is an open, on-site discussion with one of our highly experienced applications engineers. It is designed to understand your current CAD usage, discuss any general issues you are experiencing, and identify areas for efficiency improvements. Following the session, you receive a written report with our recommendations.

Is CAD Management only about software installations and updates?

No. While software maintenance is a part of the service, CAD Management encompasses a full range of services designed to improve four key areas: Quick Start (setup), Team Development (skills), Business Review (processes), and Maintenance (upgrades). It addresses both the mechanics of the software and the skills of the users.

How can I justify the investment in CAD Management Services?

The justification is based on measurable efficiency gains. By optimising your templates and workflow and upskilling your team, we often deliver massive time savings that translate directly into lower man-hours per project, faster time-to-market, and a higher return on your original SOLIDWORKS software investment.

What is covered under the Team Development Services?

Team Development focuses on upskilling. Services include bespoke training tailored to your specific product line, individual skills assessments, and targeted workshops to streamline common workflows, ensuring your team maintains the highest level of SOLIDWORKS knowledge.

We are switching to SOLIDWORKS; can you help us get started quickly?

Yes. Our Quick Start Services are specifically designed to ensure the fastest route to productivity. An expert engineer will assist with the initial setup, configuration of templates, and establishing best practices, which typically reduces your set-up time versus self-implementation.

What is the CAD Management Program credit model?

The program allows you to pre-invest in a flexible pool of service credits over a 1, 3, or 5-year period. This gives you budget certainty while allowing you to allocate those credits across any of our CAD Management services as your needs dictate (e.g., using credits for training one quarter and system review the next).

How often should we review our CAD management processes?

We recommend utilising our Business Development & Review Services at least annually. Technology, team needs, and business goals constantly change. Regular reviews ensure your processes and software configurations remain optimally aligned with your current and future objectives.

Will your Maintenance Services cover the annual SOLIDWORKS upgrade?

Yes. Our Maintenance Services allow you to outsource the critical annual software upgrade. Our experts manage the installation and configuration across your licenses, minimising downtime, eliminating installation errors, and ensuring a risk-free transition to the latest software version.
