Data distribution doesn’t sound flashy, but it’s one of the most critical (and most error-prone) steps in the engineering workflow. And without the right system in place, it becomes a source of confusion, delays, and costly mistakes.
License management and system documentation aren’t the flashiest parts of an engineering operation—but when they’re neglected, they become silent productivity killers. From expired SOLIDWORKS seats to undocumented workflows, these oversights lead to confusion, delays, and preventable downtime.
Let’s walk through why it happens—and how Converge’s Engineering Systems & Process Review (ESPR) paired with a SOLIDWORKS License Entitlement Assessment helps teams take back control.
The Problem: Unclear Licensing + Undocumented Systems = Chaos
Many teams are flying blind when it comes to their SOLIDWORKS environment:
-
No centralized record of who’s using what (and how)
-
Licenses assigned inefficiently or sitting unused
-
Workflows passed down verbally (and inconsistently)
-
No backup plan if the “go-to CAD admin” is unavailable
It’s a recipe for stalled projects and growing IT burdens. But with the right process review and entitlement strategy, it doesn’t have to be.
