CAD manager's concerns: How to migrate from AutoCAD to MicroStation?

V E R S

A change in CAD software seems to be a very challenging task.

No doubt about this, such a change is IMPORTANT, and yes, you will have to face a lot of work in the process. But remember this old saying: any change that deserves to be made is difficult. This particular change is also within reach and is truly worth it. Then, when thinking about the process, it's not as intimidating as you might imagine. This will require:

Decide who should oversee the installation

Will the installation of the software depend on you or the IT department? If you share the work, how exactly? Clearly define expectations and limits from the start.

Determine what you need and how you will install

How many licenses MicroStation Do you need and what combination of perpetual licenses and subscription licenses will best meet your short- and long-term needs? Will you make a raw installation (without setting) or will you need a custom deployment? We can guide you in this process.

Install

Most companies don't need new equipment if you switch from AutoCAD to MicroStation. Once you have the new software, you're ready. Installation usually takes five minutes per machine and deployment images can be used for remote installation on many machines on a network.

Education

Initial learning will be cost-effective for users and for you. Learning resources and options (pre-recorded training, web, on-site) are numerous for all stages and types of learning, as described below.

Go or take the time

Today, who has time to configure software and master skills before putting new tools into production? Some companies, especially the smaller ones, succeed in implementing new software and a new project simultaneously, learning and improving in real time. MicroStation is very flexible and can be customized according to your needs. So you can certainly configure rights, workspaces and other features before you put online. But MicroStation Also works without any modification, allowing you to start learning and being productive immediately and then customize it as you go. It's your choice!
