Success Story

HGP Architects Embeds Quality Assurance, CPD, & Just-In-Time Skills Development with Pinnacle Series

HGP Architects Embeds Quality Assurance, CPD, & Just-In-Time Skills Development with Pinnacle Series

Customer challenge

HGP Architects wanted a solution that could completely stand-alone, without the need for additional systems to store departmental documents, such as HR documentation, alongside the e-learning modules. They wanted to put an end to folder madness; with things occasionally saved on the server with descriptions created subjectively by users. HGP also wanted a system that could perform a document management function across a broad catalogue of company procedures and other essential information.

Project goals

Even the most accomplished architect or designer can occasionally need to brush up his or her skills in areas of technology they may not have used in some time. Meanwhile, new staff members coming into an organisation are always looking for reassurance. HGP wanted to ensure their employees were able to obtain precisely the knowledge or skill required, at precisely the time it’s needed.

Solution

Pinnacle Series, for HGP, has rapidly become a “one-stop place”; not just for e-learning but for all documentation critical to how the company works. It offers a reliable library of up-to-date software tutorials, alongside HGP’s own documentation. HGP also uses Pinnacle as a basis for staff reviews; gaining a clear view of who has been using the software for what purpose, together with the progress that Pinnacle helps them make.

Business outcome

“Excitech has been our go-to for all software solutions, advice and licenses for fifteen years and we always know that whatever they suggest for our business will add value. With our adoption of Pinnacle, they took us step by step through the whole process. They were determined to make sure that we understood its full potential and that we had the confidence to make best use of its deep functionality." Russell Caple, Associate Director, HGP Architects

Conclusion

Pinnacle shows everybody in the company what ‘good’ looks like. The bulk of day-to-day procedures applicable to every project they handle, is now instantly accessible. Templates, drawing sheets, schedules, sections are all there ready for people to just drop in the details. So, Pinnacle is now the backbone of ensuring quality, maintaining high standards, supporting every team member, and removing tedium and human error from any aspect of what they do.

Symetri Leverages Accelerator Material for McLaren Resulting in Productivity Boost on Conceptual Design and Improved Cross Department Communications

Using the Alias Subdivision (Sub-D) Modeling Accelerator’s discovery session and engagement approach, Symetri was able to uncover that McLaren had critical challenges they needed to address: • As a result of the Pandemic, McLaren needed to figure out how to do more with their Alias Software with less people in the studio. • They wanted to become more productive leveraging the tools and processes already established in the studio. • Raise core competencies of the team and boost awareness of Alias full set of capabilities – including Subdivisional modeling • Better appreciation of the various modeling paradigms – how they work, what they do, and where they could fit into McLaren’s workflow • Increase prototyping output • Reduce time in the design phase
