QUAKERTOWN, Pa., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ — The Synergis Engineering Design
Solutions Division of Synergis Technologies, Inc. today announced that it has
helped Pennsylvania-based D.L. Howell and Associates, Inc. and HowellKline
Surveying, LLC transition from Autodesk Land Desktop 2004 to AutoCAD Civil 3D
2008 software with its Civil 3D Success Program. Through the unique program
Synergis certified experts provided on-site custom training and implementation
services to help the company achieve success with AutoCAD Civil 3D, from
initial assessment through post-training mentoring. The Synergis program
allowed the 16-person design team at D.L. Howell and HowellKline to fully
adopt new technology without bringing workflow to a stop, thus minimizing its
impact on current design efforts.

“This software is not something we can learn from the book. We wouldn’t be
able to make this transition by ourselves — Synergis’ training was absolutely
essential,” said John Hubickey, System Administrator/Designer III, for D.L.
Howell and Associates, Inc. “To be up and running at the end of our first
three months and solely using Civil 3D at the end of the next three months is
pretty darn aggressive and we’re right on track to our goal. Within six to 12
months, we expect to be able to cut drafting and revision time in half,
greatly improve our accuracy and do fewer manual revisions, further helping to
reduce errors. Because of Autodesk software and Synergis training, our new
process will help us get our jobs done better and faster. We’ll be able to
take on bigger jobs with same amount of CAD people.”

AutoCAD Civil 3D gives D.L. Howell (http://www.dlhowell.com) and
HowellKline (www.howellkline.com) — which provide complete civil engineering,
land planning, environmental and surveying services — a streamlined workflow
and improved collaboration capabilities between the surveying and engineering
segments of its firm to increase productivity, stay coordinated throughout
projects, and deliver better results for its clients. In addition, D.L.
Howell and HowellKline are also treating the transition as an opportunity to
adopt national CAD standards.
