Case Study: IronCAD achieves faster sales cycles and improved 3-D collaboration with Microsoft Azure

Lifting 3-D design and collaboration apps to the cloud to shorten the sales cycle

IronCAD, a U.S.-based developer of dynamic 3-D design and collaboration software, faced the challenge of shortening long, error-prone sales-to-engineering cycles and making complex product configuration accessible to nontechnical users across multiple locations while ensuring secure, centralized data access.

Using the IronCAD Design Collaboration Suite (IRONCAD and COMPOSE) delivered via Microsoft Azure RemoteApp and storage, salespeople can configure and edit 3-D models in real time (including Smart Assembly) and submit fully translatable designs directly to engineers. The cloud solution centralizes versions, ties into procurement/pricing, automates bill-of-materials generation, improves collaboration and security, and has helped customers cut traditional sales cycles by half or more.
