Case Study: Innovative Steam Technologies improves design documentation workflow by 30% with Synergis Software's Adept document management

Innovative Steam Technologies Improves Design Documentation Workflow Process by 30 Percent with Adept Document Management

Innovative Steam Technologies (IST), a manufacturer of Once Through Heat Recovery Steam Generators for industrial and power markets, faced heavy overhead from managing hundreds of project drawings and documents in both paper and electronic formats. The company needed an enterprise document management (EDM) solution to handle AutoCAD files, revisions, engineering change records, and multi-format legacy data without disrupting daily operations. IST selected Adept from Synergis Software to meet these requirements.

Synergis Software implemented Adept with workflow, property extraction, fast search, access controls and a data migration effort that linked Unix, Windows, scanned and vendor files into a single repository. The solution preserved IST’s file structure, enabled electronic compilation of O&M manuals, and gave users desktop access with under a week of training. As a result, IST reduced design documentation processing time by 30%, cut manual labor and storage costs, and can now distribute controlled documents worldwide in minutes.
