Success Story

Integra Engineering LTD Saves Time and Money with IMAGINiT's ProductivityNOW

Integra Engineering LTD Saves Time and Money with IMAGINiT's ProductivityNOW

Customer challenge

Incorporated in the city of Lloydminster in 1997, and built on a foundation of experience, knowledge, integrity and service, Integra Engineering Ltd. is service design firm which specializes in providing complete engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) services to the oil and gas industry. “A main component of Integra’s success is our focus on taking the time to develop and maintain relationships with our clients’ field personnel,” said Duane Liebelt, senior designer at Integra. “Integra didn’t want its designers spending valuable time on software lessons that were too basic or too advanced, or that were on a software not needed for their specific design activities. The company, as well as the individuals, wanted to get the knowledge needed and get back to providing expertise and support to the people who will work at the facilities we design.”

Project goals

“Empowering our designers to identify specific needs and dive right into the training was the solution for us,” said Duane. “Whether someone needed a quick answer to an Autodesk Navisworks workflow challenge or to gain advanced lessons on Autodesk ReCap Pro, ProductivityNOW would make it easy.”

Solution

Integra worked with IMAGINiT to develop an approach that would give their 15 employees in the Mechanical Drafting, Electrical Drafting and Document Control departments access to the resources available through ProductivityNOW.

Business outcome

Designers at Integra immediately started using all the features of ProductivityNOW. “We were impressed with the quality of the content and the responsiveness of the IMAGINiT support team,” said Duane. “I have personally contacted them with urgent questions via email, and each time I had a call back within 10 minutes. The technicians even stayed on the phone until the issue was completely resolved.” Based on their discussions with IMAGINiT, Integra had several expectations. ProductivityNOW delivered on them all: 1. Money saved – The online training eliminated the need for costly travel to in-person classes 2. Time saved – Designers got the information they needed when they needed it, instead of having to wait for formal training classes or a co-worker to help 3. Productivity increased – Teams focused more time on project related activities instead of software tasks

Conclusion

Additionally, as the oil and gas industry slowed due to Covid-19 challenges and all Integra employees started working from home, the company realized a stronger return on their investment than they originally expected. “With the industry slowdown, our people had more time to focus on their professional development. And the fact that we could no longer walk up to co-workers for quick demonstrations meant we were spending more time looking for answers ourselves and getting to know the functionality of ProductivityNOW,” said Duane. “Now that we are settling into this new routine and the oil and gas industry is picking up, we are more skilled at Autodesk software in general and, when questions come up, we know where to go for answers: ProductivityNOW. Its vast amount of information and its searchability means we can find answers quickly. Our expanded knowledge base will help us deliver better services to our customers.”

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.
