Grote Industries Deploys Fishbowl Solutions' PDF eTrigger™ for Pro/INTRALINK®

Fishbowl Solutions, a leading software development and technology consulting firm, announced deployment of their PDF eTrigger for Pro/INTRALINK at Grote Industries.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) May 27, 2006 -- Fishbowl Solutions, a leading software development and technology consulting firm, announced deployment of their PDF eTrigger for Pro/INTRALINK solution at Grote Industries. PDF eTrigger automatically creates PDFs of Pro/ENGINEER® CAD drawings that reside in Pro/INTRALINK® based upon reaching specific milestones. This automation process eliminates human error and allows engineers to focus on value added activity rather than PDF creation.

"PDF eTrigger is great! It just runs as part of our process and we don't have to think about it," states Joanna Burress, Data Integration Manager at Grote Industries. "The elimination of this manual task coupled with providing simple and timely visibility of Pro/ENGINEER drawings to everyone in the company has delivered an impressive return on investment."

"Most companies we talk to are not interested in being in the PDF creation business. They are looking to innovate and find ways to remove non-value added tasks from their key core processes" said Tim Gruidl, president of Fishbowl Solutions. "PDF eTrigger automates a manual process allowing valuable engineering resources to be refocused on strategic New Product Development, not PDF creation."
