Case Study: Pelican Energy increases billable hours and revenue with Synergis Software's Adept document management

How Pelican Energy Uses Document Management to Add Revenue, Increase Billable Hours and Keep Clients Happy

Pelican Energy, a multi-discipline consulting engineering firm, faced the challenge of adding billable value in a down economy by offering clients measurable, cost-saving services. To do this they turned to Synergis Software’s Adept document management solution to securely manage and control the documents Pelican produces and the files delivered by many other engineering firms for a key client.

Using Synergis Software’s Adept, Pelican Energy centralized 15,000–20,000 documents (drawings, specs, permits, photos, etc.), standardized incoming drawings, and automated complex CAD/Xref relationships so changes propagate across all related drawings. The result was new consulting revenue and increased billable hours, faster design reuse that saves client time and money, and major efficiency gains from automated check-in/check-out and version control—benefits Pelican plans to expand into additional clients.
