Anderson & Associates Extends Use of Altiva Software’s CADconform
April 4, 2007 (Houston, TX)—Altiva Software announces that Anderson & Associates, Inc., a Virginia-based engineering, design and technology firm, has extended its use of CADconform® software to promote and enforce CAD standards for its client, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
VDOT uses CADconform to promote and enforce CAD standards in its own drafting operations. VDOT is also working with many vendors and subcontractors to achieve maximum CAD data quality and process efficiency, streamlining projects and eliminating errors and rework (see Altiva press release Virginia DOT Achieving Significant Process and Quality Improvements with CADconform).
“Working with Altiva has been a pleasant experience,” explains Anderson’s Assistant Survey Manager Ronnie Shelor. “The folks there are top notch and gave us the care and attention of their largest customers.”
Shelor continues, “We are also pleased with all of the new features and functionality in the latest version of CADconform. As our standards committee reviews our standards and processes in efforts to move towards using advanced design tools and achieving greater efficiency, we will be analyzing CADconform for use with other client projects.”
“To attain the maximum advantages of advanced design tools, companies must have superior data quality, which starts with 100% conformance to CAD data standards,” explains Altiva Software CEO Philip Hurlston. “Only CADconform provides that level of conformance, reliably and affordably.”
“At Altiva, we are committed to helping all of our customers get on board and up-to-speed with CADconform as quickly as possible, so they can start realizing the value to their business and their bottom line,” continues Hurlston.
