Beyond Training – Engineered Efficiency, Inc. provides a
proven path to a successful Civil 3D roll-out

Why are organizations still using Autodesk Land Desktop? There are several reasons why organizations have not upgraded to Civil 3D. These include an existing familiarity and expertise with Land Desktop; concerns about learning a new application; and a lack of a clear plan to smoothly transition without lost productivity. Additionally, perhaps the two most common reasons are a reluctance to change existing workflows and a general lack of understanding the benefits of migrating to Civil 3D.

Why bother with upgrading to Autodesk Civil 3D? Civil 3D has taken CAD beyond drafting functions and provided the engineer, surveyor, and designer with a set of tools that help them create better designs in less time. As a true 3D modeling application, design elements are much more than just 2D linework with extended attributes, and as such provide a range of functionality that simply isn’t possible with Land Desktop. As a fully dynamic application, the synchronization between design objects and drafting annotation is automatic, eliminating errors and greatly reducing the time required to perform a variety of tasks. All of this contributes to the real business benefits of attracting and retaining both the best employees and the best clients. Ultimately, these benefits show up as an improvement on the bottom line. Organizations that successfully migrate realize these, and other, benefits.

How does an organization successfully migrate? Migrating to Civil 3D is not the same as upgrading from one version of Land Desktop to another. As a powerful design and drafting tool, Civil 3D requires a well-planned and How does an organization successfully migrate? Migrating to Civil 3D is not the same as upgrading from one version of Land Desktop to another. As a powerful design and drafting tool, Civil 3D requires a well-planned and well-executed implementation strategy that goes beyond training. A successful migration includes a complete understanding of your organization’s unique workflows; a plan that integrates Civil 3D into that workflow; expert training customized for your organization; a consulting team that can guide you successfully through your initial Civil 3D projects; and expert ongoing sales and consulting support. When looking for an implementation partner, organizations usually must chose from the similar offerings of traditional software vendors. Many organizations aren’t familiar with the other partnering options available to deliver this level of expertise.
