QUAKERTOWN, Pa., April 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Synergis Engineering Design Solutions (EDS), a division of Synergis Technologies, Inc., announced today that James R. Holley & Associates, Inc., a full service Pennsylvania civil engineering firm serving residential, industrial and commercial land developers, chose Synergis EDS for training and support for Autodesk Civil 3D software. This helped the company transition from Autodesk Land Desktop to Autodesk Civil 3D software to stay at the forefront of technology and streamline processes, dramatically reducing the time to complete key tasks from days to just hours.

"The sheer time savings we realized by moving to Civil 3D from Land Desktop was remarkable," said Rick Graham, CAD manager, James R. Holley & Associates, Inc.

We're still early in our pilot project phase and we've already experienced productivity increases and streamlined engineering processes. We know there are even more benefits to come."

James R. Holley & Associates is a repeat customer, looking to Synergis EDS for all of its Autodesk design software purchase and training needs. "Our experience with Synergis has been positive. The enthusiasm of their staff is infectious. They sincerely enjoy passing their knowledge onto us and have genuine concern for our company's success," said Graham. "The level of support we presently have with Synergis is invaluable to me. And, our success as a company would not be complete without assistance from Synergis Technologies."

Before formal training, the designers at J.R. Holley made due with help files, tutorials and other online resources. "Since our training session, there is solid Civil 3D understanding among the engineers and a strong level of confidence in their ability to manipulate the software to their advantage. With this new proficiency, the company is seeing great improvements in their capabilities, productivity and success," said Bill Frederick, the Synergis solutions engineer and Autodesk Civil 3D implementation certified expert who lead J.R. Holley and Associates' training.
