Sandia National Laboratories employs nine to 12 architectural/engineering firms to develop design changes on a project basis. It maintains close to 400,000 facilities record documents. Keeping these facilities records updated to reflect the ongoing work done by multiple parties proved a difficult task. In 2003, Sandia National Laboratories used an assortment of software products from different vendors to create CAD, geospatial, and building design documents.
With the goal of improving the accuracy of its documentation, as well as gaining efficiencies and saving money, Sandia National Laboratories decided to standardize its geospatial tools, CAD drawings, and workflow processes. The Bentley product line offered the range of capabilities it needed for facilities management, and the products integrated well with each other.
