Plant Solutions at Daratech
One of the great parts of my position at Autodesk these days is that I get to attend conferences and interface directly with our client base. This enables me, among other things, to continue to learn about client issues. Bringing this information back to the office helps us design better solutions into the software.
I was just in Houston at the Daratech conference last week. Along with the P&ID team, we had with us Total CAD Systems, the local value added reseller, who are getting into the thick of selling and supporting Plant Software. We were also showing NavisWorks (now a Autodesk product) as well as integration of P&ID with Vault & Buzzsaw. Additionally we had our 3D product manager on hand discussing upcoming technology. I hope to be back to Houston in May for the massive Offshore Technology Conference trade show. It's another great opportunity to continue discussing Plant software needs with clients. Plus I've even learned to enjoy Houston across the years - contrary to popular opinion, it is possible to have a good time in Houston!
I'm a bit late in posting this entry because I've been off for the last few days. I took advantage of Houston's proximity to my former home New Orleans to visit just in time for the Mardi Gras festivities. If you have never been, I strongly encourage you to make it out some year. It is an event that has to be experienced to be believed. I'm now back in the office recovering from the parades, parties, great music, amazing food, and getting my fair share of beads. Yes, we even fried a turkey - a 14 pound bird @ 3 minutes a pound. Delicious!
Oh - and Happy Mardi Gras!
great post with useful information
