Why Enterprise CPQ Implementations Fail

July 23, 2018

You’ve reached a certain point in the evolution of your company and you know it’s time to invest in a CPQ system. But buyer beware: There’s a certain misconception around CPQ systems as being plug-in devices or turnkey-ready overlays of your existing infrastructure, or a simple app you sign up for and that’s it. Yes—the best ones do not require heavy IT resources to get them up and running. But even the best ones require certain things to happen to make their implementation and rollout successful, and most companies, despite the best-laid plans, usually get torpedoed by one of the following issues.

Moving from Manual to Engineered Palletization

whitePaper | May 1, 2022

Palletization refers to the process of placing goods or materials, either packaged or bulk, onto pallets. The pallet provides a base for the goods and materials, thereby promoting the efficient storage, handling and transport for the combination of goods and the pallet base, referred to collectively as the unit load.

The Current State of Engineering Simulation

whitePaper | July 27, 2022

SimScale and Digital Engineering conducted a readership survey to obtain a high-level view of how engineers are using both on-premises and cloud-based simulation software. The research found that respondents are using simulation across their design departments and throughout the design cycle on a frequent basis, and analyzing multiple physics.

Advanced construction enterprise platform

whitePaper | September 11, 2022

Construction projects often feel like different worlds governed by different rules, flows, regulations, and procedures – but with a single, common goal. The goal is clear but getting there proves much more difficult than it should be. That’s why we decided to sync and empower them to move forward at the same pace right from the start. Constream is a suite of connected modules, where each one is focused on recreating a specific construction management process and serving solutions to day-to-day problems. Our ecosystem is designed with blockchain technology at its core in order to exploit the full potential of decentralization and fragmentation of the construction industry. Why revolutionize something that only needs to evolve?

Multiphysics Engineering Simulation in the Cloud

whitePaper | December 10, 2021

A multiphysics approach to design is of the essence to fully capture the realworld interactions between the physical phenomena at play inside today’s complex products. This means that to develop the best products need to adopt simulation tools capable of handling structural, thermal, and fluid flow behavior with high-fidelity and in a timely manner. Access to CAE simulation tools in the cloud is therefore critical and can offer a competitive advantage, as it enables engineering teams to quickly assess product performance and accelerate design iterations by leveraging its virtually limitless computational power and collaborative nature. Engineers and designers have traditionally been constrained by legacy desktop CAE tools. Neither the computational power available locally, or its associated cost, scale up or down on-demand. N

The Future of Building

whitePaper | June 6, 2022

With ongoing advancements in converging technologies, energy generation and usage and other business models, the construction industry has an opportunity to transform the way it functions. Challenging conventional norms could be the key to solving many of the bottlenecks the industry has faced for years. At the same time, there are inherent risks associated with transformative shifts. The time is right to take advantage of the potential financial, environmental and societal rewards.

Top 6 Tips for Faster Smarter Civil Engineering Calculation Sheets

whitePaper | October 17, 2022

Engineering calculations are at the heart of civil engineering design. The calculation sheets that accompany a project can provide evidence of the design competency and that the specifications are met. Common building calculations are formalized in design guides, such as Eurocodes, AASHTO, IBC etc. The equations tend to be mathematically simple – only needing basic arithmetic operations on the design parameters – but they still require engineering experience to determine the which, why, and when.
