Oregon DOT profits $42,000 per year from one software program.

Wednesday, 7 Jan 2004

SALEM, OREGON, USA — With over 250 MicroStation users in the CAD department, James Weisgram and Oregon DOT had to find a way to keep their CAD budget efficient. To accomplish this, they implemented FileFixer. FileFixer is the MicroStation utility that fixes design files automatically. FileFixer is also the most popular component of MicroStation Productivity Toolkit, Axiom’s software suite of productivity-boosting MicroStation tools. The following figures illustrate how James Weisgram’s department saves $42,000 in a year, by using FileFixer.

Cost of fixing MicroStation files without FileFixer:

200 days (number of days in a year spent manually fixing files with EdG) x 7 hours a day working on EdG (1 full-time employee using EdG) x $35 (hourly pay) = $49,000

Yearly cost of fixing MicroStation files without FileFixer: $49,000
Cost of fixing MicroStation files using FileFixer:

200 days (average days in a year spent designing on MicroStation) x 1 hour daily spent using FileFixer (due to the large MicroStation department of 250+ users) x $35 (hourly pay) = $7,000

Yearly cost of fixing MicroStation files using FileFixer: $7,000

Total yearly savings due to FileFixer: $42,000
