QUICK STARTS

CAD MANAGEMENT SERVICES

What is a Quick Start?
The Fastest Way to Get Up and Running
Quick Start services are designed to enable you to immediately become productive with a new software purchase. Across all the Quick Starts we offer we typically see an 80% reduction in set up time vs self-implementation.
What types of Quick Starts are available?
Further down this page you will find detailed descriptions for each of the quick start services we offer. Currently Quick Starts are available for all SOLIDWORKS Products and a number of Partner Products.
What is covered in a Quick Start?
Quick Start contents vary from product to product (as described further down this page) but will usually cover system settings and configuration, templates and set up, basic workflows and direct users towards relevant support and learning resources.
Key Benefits
Some of the key benefits of the Quick Start are:
  • Avoiding the time associated with self-implementation.
  • Helping users to become productive in the shortest time possible.
  • Ensuring best practice from day one.
  • Ensuring all users are aware of available support and resources.
