Tôi khuyên bạn nên bạn kết hợp CAD tiêu chuẩn với một số đa-CAD mới của bạn phát hiện các tiêu chuẩn hiện tại của bạn, giống như sử dụng tối ưu của 2D hoặc 3D cho một quá trình nhất định, các điểm giao diện 2D/3D, và loại tập tin công cụ trực quan. | 98 CHAPTER 6 MANAGING SOFTWARE AND CHANGE Changing Methods First things first. When you budget for software be it new software or upgraded software the only reason you do so is that you expect better software in return for the money you spend. If you haven t thought about software this way before I can guarantee that your management does so it behooves you to consider this perspective. When you get a new software package whether on subscription or not one of the following things must be true in order for you to undertake the time and expense of purchasing and installing it Existing work tasks should get easier. Old bugs should be fixed to allow better faster operation. New features should allow you to design better faster. New methods like transitioning from 2D to 3D design should create radically more efficient design processes. The interesting point about all these factors is that they will change how your users work with their software. In essence the new software you install will force people to learn new things and will jolt them out of their comfort zone. The conclusion I draw is that managing software is really about managing changes in how you design and use software. And managing that change is never easy. Figure Change people s software and you change how they may not like the change. How will you manage the change process Also note that this change has to happen quickly in order for it to make financial sense. You not only have to change how people work but you must do so quickly and with an accountant looking over your shoulder. No wonder getting new software installed is so hard Throughout this chapter I ll make references to how wrenching software change can be from the perspective of users training senior management cost and return and the CAD manager juggling all the factors . I ve presented this section on change first in hopes that you ll keep it in mind as you read. Note Installing software is how people use software .
