New CAD Releases and its Impact on Engineering Productivity

Some companies are reluctant to update their CAD solutions to the latest release. Many are concerned such updates will disrupt their current projects, with more than 27% of study respondents citing disruption leading to lost productivity. At the same time, CAD providers are adding productivity-enhancing features with every new release. We invite you to download this free eBook, from industry research firm Lifecycle Insights, and get their take on this counter intuitive thinking from their latest CAD Productivity Study.

Roughly half of the study participants ranked disruption as one of three reasons they delay updating their CAD solution

Computer-aided design (CAD) solutions are an indispensable part of today’s mechanical design landscape. It eliminates many tedious, repetitive, manual design processes. But executives are eager to see more improvements from their CAD solutions to further improve the productivity of their teams.

CAD solution providers are responding to these demands by delivery new capabilities and innovative workflows. These new capabilities can further boost workflow efficiencies, productivity design accuracy, and data management. But, to see these benefits, companies must regularly update their CAD solution to the latest release.

Lifecycle Insights conducted the CAD Productivity Study to understand how companies pursue CAD upgrades and new releases. We invite you to download this free eBook, which investigates company performance with respect to these CAD upgrades, the obstacles faced, and benefits realized from updating to the latest CAD release.
