Excitech Experience

Welcome to Excitech Experience which is aimed at sharing the latest developments and processes in the industry as seen by our consultants, training team, support engineers and developers.

Excitech Experience follows on from the success of Excitech’s Design Productivity Journal (DPJ) which, for almost ten years, provided one of the most widely read publications covering the application of technology for the creation and management of design data.

Excitech Experience will, however, extend beyond just this journal. A single document cannot do justice to the breadth of requirements, the increasing sophistication of the solutions, and the increased focus on collaboration seen by our professional services teams today. As such, many articles will provide links to further documents such as white papers, other online media and to the consultants themselves.

Our intention is to deliver maximum value to our customers by covering not just news and developments but right through to benefits achieved in real examples of industry case studies.
