In a year the Andritz company implemented the solution in 11 branches located in the countries of Europe and Asia.

This solution is convenient in mastering and, therefore, is economic – was enough for our employees literally in the afternoon to begin to work surely with it, – Ulrich Lanz, the head of department of Andritz company of service of the systems of design says. – A system works quickly enough. Autodesk Vault carries out some tasks 10 times quicker, than a product which we used earlier. It is pleasant to our engineers that a system without delays reacts to the operations performed by them. The quantity of the errors resulting from overwriting of the necessary data or work with the wrong document revisions is minimized".
