Customized training program notably increases knowledge, moving DCO from little understanding of Autodesk Inventor to fully productive

QUAKERTOWN, Pa., Aug. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Synergis(R) Technologies Engineering Design Solutions Division today announced that as a result of the customized training it delivered, Day-Brite | Capri | Omega (DCO) Lighting ( http://www.dcolighting.com) has become dramatically more knowledgeable with its Autodesk Inventor software and raised the overall productivity level of both their Product Engineering and Design Engineering Departments. Prior to training, most of DCO Lighting's engineering specialists were unable to work in Autodesk Inventor at all. Now all are able to work more effectively and accomplish tasks they would not have even attempted before training.

DCO Lighting is noted for the wide array of indoor and outdoor lighting products they develop for the commercial, residential and industrial markets. "Synergis is an excellent company to collaborate with for training and support. They worked to help us find the best solution and strived to meet our needs quickly," said Nikki Roaten, senior documentation control engineer for Day-Brite | Capri | Omega Lighting. "The training we received was top notch. It was well-organized and our trainer was very knowledgeable and prepared. Many of our design engineers have expressed how their training experience has helped them use the software more effectively."

The in-depth training program that Synergis delivered onsite at DCO Lighting covered the product features with which the company's engineers were unfamiliar and was customized to build their skills and address their specific requests. The training laid the groundwork for Product Engineering to begin using Autodesk Inventor software for product customizations and to maintain Inventor projects created by the DCO design engineers. Holding the training at their work site allowed DCO Lighting to make the most of their time and have a large group of engineers trained in a short period, including some who would have likely never received any formal training.

"There's no doubt good training can significantly shorten a company's learning curve and reduce downtime. At Synergis, we take that to heart. We do whatever it takes to ensure our students have made a dramatic leap in their knowledge level and are primed for success with every training," said David Sharp, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synergis Technologies. "We are dedicated to delivering a consistently high level of service throughout our entire organization."

"The service we get from Synergis is nothing less than excellent. They continually amaze me with their speedy, efficient, and friendly service," said Roaten. "I always know I can count on Synergis to remain involved until they have helped us find a solution to any problem. We couldn't ask for anything better."

Synergis Engineering Design Solutions hosts learning events all year that help companies better understand how to maximize their Autodesk investment through education and customized programs.
