CBCL Sees eLearning ROI in 7 Weeks

CBCL Sees eLearning ROI in 7 Weeks

Customer challenge

“We have hundreds of design professionals that use different Autodesk design tools, including AutoCAD, Revit, Plant 3D, Civil 3D, and Navisworks,” said Murray Clack, CAD Systems Coordinator, CBCL. "The number of different tools, the fast pace of technology advancements, and our large number of complex projects meant that we needed to find an efficient way to give them the training they needed."

Project goals

With hundreds of professionals using multiple Autodesk solutions, CBCL hoped to: 1) Enable engineers to fill in the gaps in their skillset 2) Invest in their employees with training, reducing turnover 3) Allow managers to track progress 4) Help sales showcase talent with proven skills assessments 5) Compare their team's skills against industry standards for a competitive edge

Solution

To help employees focus their valuable time on their individual knowledge gaps, CBCL engaged IMAGINiT Canada for KnowledgeSmart Assessment Services. “The knowledge assessments are like express lanes,” said Murray. “They help people get where they need to be faster.” They combined this with ProductivityNOW, IMAGNIiT Canada's eLearning platform, enabling them to get up to speed quicker and feel more confident about their skills.

Business outcome

Says Murray, "Within just a two-month period, our employees had taken enough classes to completely refund the annual investment. To date, they have exceeded 425 courses which, if taken through traditional training methods, would have been impossible to fund due to the budget required. As the so called ‘go-to CAD guy’ in our company, I have noticed a reduction in calls for help from users trying to navigate particular CAD functions."

Conclusion

Murray says, “Our team is now well-versed in the capabilities of ProductivityNOW. And now that individuals work from home and can’t easily ask coworkers for help, this knowledge is more important than ever. They are able to quickly find answers to workflow questions and take more control of their professional development.”

C2AE Trusts IMAGINiT with BIM Management Services

For several years, the Building division within C2AE successfully followed a BIM-management-by-committee approach to making decisions on procedures, standards, and best practices. The company’s designers and engineers would meet in person or online, discuss the options, and determine next steps. As the company’s team grew in size and experience level, coming to a consensus became more difficult. C2AE recognized the need to select one person to be the point person responsible for gathering and evaluating all the opinions and deciding which to select and implement.


Swinterton Delivers Value and Achieves ROI with Leica RTC360 Scanner

When renovating buildings, Swinerton starts with as-built measurements provided by clients. Because those drawings rarely include updates, Swinerton relied on their architects to manually measure spaces, put those measurements into Autodesk Revit, and provide PDFs of the information to the designers, who used them as the starting point for renovations. Swinerton started getting laser scans of structures at the beginning of renovation projects using external companies to perform the scanning. “The laser scanners led to great improvements,” said Matt Zwetzig, VD&C Manager, Swinerton. “Measurements were gathered in a fraction of the time, teams knew they were working with accurate information, plans were created faster, correct parts were ordered the first time, and the parts fit as expected.” With business growing and timelines shortening, Matt determined it was time to compare costs for hiring external providers versus purchasing a scanner and completing the work in house.


Massilly North America Automates Processes with Fusion 360 Manage

In 2015, Massilly North America reached out to Autodesk for support on their product lifecycle management (PLM) software, Fusion 360 Manage (previously known as Autodesk PLM 360), which is critical to the company’s day-to-day operations. Autodesk connected Massilly North America with IMAGINiT, and the IMAGINiT PLM team answered questions on specific issues, consulted on workflow improvements, and shared best practices.
