FARNBOROUGH, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 18, 2012--
The Beaver Group – an award winning digital media agency – is
successfully using Autodesk
PLM 360 product lifecycle management software from Autodesk,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) to help rapidly expand its business while
continuing to offer exemplary customer service on fast-track, multi-site
projects.
The Beaver Group provides digital media, design and creative solutions
and services to leading brands such as P&O Cruises, Showcase Cinemas and
Burger King. The company selected Autodesk PLM 360 to expand access to
critical data for all aspects of its business, including program
management, engineering, quality, procurement, operations, sales and
marketing and support data, and to ensure that every user has anytime,
anywhere access from virtually any mobile device or web browser.
“We desperately needed a project management system that worked instantly
for a variety of stakeholders—designers, technical specialists, external
suppliers and partners such as architects, engineers and
contractors—without the expense or complexity of other systems on the
market,” said Peter Critchley, managing director at Beaver Group.
“Autodesk PLM 360 provides everyone involved an accurate view of how
projects are progressing and increases the transparency of our work.”
Prior to Autodesk PLM 360, Beaver Group held critical product
information in disparate systems and version control was a major issue
since work on different products was happening concurrently across
several sites. To effectively bring together all aspects of the design
process without cumbersome infrastructure, Beaver Group turned to
Autodesk 360 PLM and now uses it to help manage the entire design,
project management and installation process of digital menus and signs.
“We came to the point where the business had to decide whether to invest
in a new IT infrastructure or a cloud-based system. But in reality there
was no choice. There was nothing else on the market that could have
suited us so well,” said Critchley.
