If you have ever wondered how to get started with Autodesk Vault Data Standard, here are some steps to get you going.

When you are using a CAD application in the office is your server and/or network connection slow?  If you answered yes, and now have to work offsite using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), you probably noticed it is even slower.  To improve performance (or if you are looking for a better way to manage your files) then you might want to consider implementing Vault.  What you may not know is if you are using a CAD product from Autodesk (Inventor, Acad, Acad Mech, Civil 3D etc…) your company already owns Vault Basic.

I discuss data management and business processes with companies every day, and most organizations struggle with what should be a simple process.  Once a design is completed or revised, how do you communicate new and updated information to the rest of the business?  Often companies rely on manual processes that are time-consuming and prone to error.  For those companies that use Autodesk Vault to manage their CAD data, it doesn't have to be this way.
