•Increasing Utility Design Efficiency with an Integrated Autodesk and SAP Solution
With the housing boom showing no signs of abating, and commercial and industrial development resuming growth after a recent slowdown, gas and electric utilities are under increasing pressure to complete construction work orders on budget and on time. Utilities must improve the bottom line by not devoting additional resources to the process while at the same time making customer satisfaction a priority.
Many utilities, however, are hamstrung by the manual, error-prone processes involved in designing, engineering, and estimating the costs of utility work orders, affecting service delivery timelines and build-out costs. Specifically,the lack of integration between the utility design process and customer material ordering and supply chain information stands in the way of timely, accurate, and cost-effective service delivery. Lead times of 12 to 16 weeks in the delivery of services to the customer are common but increasingly unacceptable in an environment where customer satisfaction is a priority.
By automating and integrating key functions and systems in the work order process,both gas and electric utilities can improve process efficiency, reduce redundant data entry and costly errors, and enhance customer satisfaction with more timely delivery of work order packages.

This white paper describes the typical,manual work order process in use at most utilities
today and then shows how Autodesk ® Utility Design software,along with the product's new
integration with SAP ® R/3 Enterprise 4.7 via Autodesk Utility Design 's Work Order Interface
2006,streamlines the same process.
