The largest advantage being a unified platform for design and collaboration\u2014a tool that can create designs faster with fewer errors, cut the need for peer review, reduce change orders, and foster design re-use. This change is worth exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change in any organization is difficult; change is even more challenging when replacing an engineering system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question to ask is,&nbsp;<strong>what is the cost of not changing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The measure of status quo is no longer a financial one.
