Spescom Software Inc, the US subsidiary of JSE-listed ICT group, Spescom Ltd, has announced the launch of its Fast Track engineering drawing management solution targeted at organisations where controlling CAD drawings and their supporting documents is a critical business requirement.
Spescom Software Inc, previously Altris Software Inc, is a leading provider of integrated document, configuration and records management (iDCR) solutions.
Utilising its eB CAD-Connect product, the Fast Track solution offers the opportunity for engineering companies and engineering departments within large organisations to implement a drawing management solution within a short time and on a reduced budget.
The solution makes available to persons throughout an organisation, all current drawings in a secure environment, while simultaneously supporting a controlled process for updating approved changes to a new or revised drawing. Regardless of whether a drawing is under change or static, the drawing management solution ensures that users are confident they are using the most recently approved drawing.
Customers are achieving numerous benefits from implementation of the Fast Track drawing management solution. It offers a quick return on their investment, based on technology that has the ability to grow to support corporate-wide electronic document needs. It also empowers corporate management to assess and manage risk, expectations and deployment of electronic documents throughout their corporation with minimal investment.
Dave Dorries, VP of Sales and Marketing at Spescom Software, commented: "We have experienced an increase in the number of requests from organisations for an out-of-the-box solution that will manage the revision and distribution of CAD drawings within their organisation. Many of these organisations are companies whose budgets do not stretch to the implementation of the customised drawing management solution that we also provide.
"Consequently we realised that providing these organisations with a system that allows them to achieve the majority of their requirements and that they could start using almost immediately, amounts to a substantial return on a relatively small investment for them. The Fast Track program allows customers to benefit from the extensive knowledge we have gained from the implementation of drawing management solutions worldwide over the past two decades."
