WHO: John T. Sheehan, Vice President of Services, Mathsoft
Education & Engineering, Inc.
WHAT: A presentation, "The Hidden Cost of Mismanaging Engineering
Calculations," at the SolidWorks World 2006 International User
Conference & Exposition
WHEN: Tuesday, Jan. 24 from 2:45 - 3:45 p.m. PST
WHERE: Caesars Palace Hotel, Las Vegas
WHY: Thousands of organizations fail to manage the critical
calculations that support their engineering work. The risks of
mismanaging calculations include needless redesign and
disastrous errors, and the squandering of precious
intellectual capital. The practice of calculation management
addresses these concerns, applying sound principles and
technologies from the realms of information management to the
current calculation clutter. John Sheehan will detail the
perils of mismanaging calculations, including the pitfalls of
spreadsheets, and how the practice of calculation management
enables businesses to secure a return on their intellectual
property. It will include a discussion of XML's critical role
in calculation management and simple steps every engineering
manager can take.
