How to Modernize Your Paper Engineering Drawings

International Data Corporation and Document Management magazine estimate that there are more than eight billion drawings worldwide, of which fewer than 15 percent are in a Computer Aided Design (CAD) format. This leaves an astonishing 85 percent of drawings maintained in non-electronic format, mainly paper-based engineering archives. Considering that each successive stage in a product cycle—design, production, support services—uses substantially more documentation than the prior stage, the benefits of integrating this information grows exponentially.
