New Case Study Describes How Siemens VAI Used Intergraph(R) CADWorx(R) to Speed Workflow and Streamline Reviews, Saving Time and Reducing Rework


HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - August 2, 2010) -  Intergraph is offering a new case study that describes how Intergraph CADWorx helped Siemens VAI Metals Technologies speed workflow and streamline the flow of information for both internal and external communication. CADWorx Plant made it easy for Siemens to transfer detailed fabrication drawings into 3D, a task that is typically difficult to do and even impossible with some software programs. CADWorx also made it easier to switch between single-line drawings and 3D models for client review at different stages in the project. Seeing things in 3D streamlined the review process and saved time for all stakeholders.

Fern Computer Consultancy Ltd. (www.ferncc.com), the Intergraph CADWorx Global Network Partner for Western Europe and Scandinavia, developed the case study with Siemens, one of the world's leading engineering and plant construction companies.
