Project Profile
The Challenge
Hidi Rae completed the majority of its projects using Autodesk’s various design software, with over 80 licenses for AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, Autodesk Building Design Suite, and MEP. Managing each license was a big, time-consuming task. Keeping track of serial numbers, activations, and subscription renewals was laborious and inefficient, but necessary.
The Solution
SolidCAD Solutions worked with Hidi Rae to consolidate and optimize its licenses. This effort reduced the number of licenses owned and ensured that Hidi Rae improved the usage of each license.
SolidCAD also made recommendations on products that would improve the engineering workflow. Bundled or suite products offered by Autodesk were often more cost-effective than purchasing individual stand-alone products. Multiple licenses were placed on one contract so that the contract manager could more easily renew and manage subscriptions. SolidCAD ensured that Hidi Rae maximized the tools and information available in the Autodesk Subscription Center.
The Results
- Improved usage of each individual license
- Reduced effort in contract management
- Improved fiscal management
