Top 5 Advantages of DriveWorks Design Automation and CPQ, from a DriveWorks Expert
The commercial benefits of DriveWorks software are clear, and they are the advantages that first come to mind when we think about the importance of a design automation and CPQ solution.
However, for the individuals that set up and use DriveWorks software, there are additional benefits too, that you might not have considered.
DriveWorks solves common challenges for engineers, giving them more time to focus on the creative, more rewarding aspects of their role.
Before joining the DriveWorks team, Paul Gimbel has had a lot of experience of implementing DriveWorks software. He’s spent time chatting with other engineers, learning about their challenges and discussing the ways they have used DriveWorks software to solve them.
So, here, we find out what the top 5 advantages of using DriveWorks software are for the engineers who set up and use it.
5. The Community of DriveWorks Users
You are not alone! The DriveWorks community is filled with people just like you, that have been through what you’ve been through and are happy to share their experiences and their stories.
4. Guided Selling Reduces Strange Requirements
Guide your users through the design of your product, letting them know what options are available, and helping them find the best solution to their requirements, rather than letting your users guess what’s best. Nobody knows your product better than you do.
3. Automation Encourages Consistency
By automating your processes, it becomes easier to reuse process steps and components you’ve already created, resulting in a more streamlined design process.
2. Creating Automation Forces Self-Reflection
When you implement DriveWorks, you have the opportunity to re-evaluate how you work and leverage the new technology to work smarter and faster.
1. FUN!
This may seem a little counterintuitive, but DriveWorks automates the drudgery. That means that your designers, engineers, and others in your organization can let go of those non-value-added tasks and start doing the jobs you hired them for, the ones they really enjoy. Plus, I think implementing DriveWorks is a whole lot of fun, but hey, that’s what I do!
