Farm Irrigation Equipment Manufacturer Manages 35,000+ Drawings with Synergis Adept Document Management Software

Lindsay Manufacturing Standardizes Product Development Processes Across Four Continents

Quakertown, PA, March 12, 2003- Synergis Technologies, Inc. today announced that Lindsay Manufacturing is achieving significant benefits including reduced engineering time and increased product quality by using Synergis(r) Adept(tm), the latest version of the industry's most cost-effective document management solution for engineering and design departments. The company migrated more than 35,000 AutoCAD and SolidWorks design documents during its recent upgrade from NFM to Synergis Adept to take advantage of Adept's Internet capabilities that enable permission-based users to access documents anytime, anywhere. Lindsay, the Nebraska-based leader in farm irrigation equipment, chose to standardize on Adept for worldwide engineering document control, following acquisitions in Europe and in South America that necessitated an efficient, Internet-enabled solution.

"Adept brings both power and simplicity to our product development process," said Chris LaFrancis, engineering software technician at Lindsay Manufacturing. "Being able to search for drawings, view them, and sign them in and out is pretty painless. Adept is so user-friendly that the entire company, both technical and non-technical departments, is using the system to obtain the information they need to carry out their jobs."

Lindsay has 20 concurrent licenses and 60 users across the company accessing documents in the Adept database. Employees spanning Engineering, Marketing, Purchasing, and the Warehouse were able to use the system within five minutes and retrieve design data needed for their job functions with minimal training. In addition to increased productivity, which translates to lower costs, Adept helps Lindsay achieve a higher level of customer satisfaction by ensuring accuracy and quality in its products.

According to LaFrancis, "With product development efforts spanning four sites-Nebraska, La Chapelle d'Aligne, France; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Capetown, Africa it was essential that all engineers and designers adhere to the same processes and be on the same system."
"Adept's effectiveness goes beyond companies with one office to those that have engineers and other employees who need to touch design data working from separate geographic offices," said Todd Cummings, director of Product Development at Synergis Technologies.
