Customizing


Tailor-made customer solutions: AUCOTEC offers more than just software
AUCOTEC offers not only electrical CAD software but complete solutions. This means that we offer our customers a tailor-made general solution for their individual task. Our products are designed such that integration into the existing infrastructure can be achieved easily and comprehensively. Thus the customer's workflow – even if highly specialized – is optimally supported. The solution portfolio is not restricted to programming the API interfaces present in the AUCOTEC products. AUCOTEC moreover increasingly implements the standardization of data and its optimization.
Workflow optimization in the fore
The range of services offered by AUCOTEC clarifies the unique trend towards integrative solutions during the past years. This means that apart from the standardized training courses and instructions for the products, the customers expect AUCOTEC to offer special services adapted to their needs. Here it is not the product – Engineering Base, ELCAD, RUPLAN or AUCOPLAN – that dominates; rather the customer's workflow and its optimization are the driving forces in this process. Due to the increasingly tough competition the customers clearly feel that there is a cost reduction potential in the optimization of the workflow whose potential has not yet been exploited. In this context one should automate interfaces to neighbouring systems and optimize processes, thereby reducing the projecting times.
Long-standing experience
AUCOTEC can exploit its competence and experience in all of these fields. For 10 years we have been offering our customers this kind of services. Full service requires full competence. This is ensured by AUCOTEC. All AUCOTEC products are equipped with components that warrant integration capability. The know-how of the AUCOTEC staff completes the capacities. All these areas together ensure that our customers achieve their goals within the agreed period of time. Here the AUCOTEC maxim holds: Let's make engineering easy!
