Excitech launches new structural business unit

Monday, 22 June 2009

Excitech is pleased to announce the formation of its new Excitech Structural Solutions (E.S.S.) business unit which is focused on UK Structural Engineering Market. The new division aims at serving the UK user base of Autodesk’s Structural Solutions.
 
Nigel Rees has joined Excitech to head up this division and expand its presence in the Structural Engineering market. Nigel brings with him 9 years of technical experience of Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis (RSA) software (formerly known as Robot Millennium). Prior to joining Excitech, Nigel Rees worked for Autodesk and was Director of Robobat (UK), developing a successful business around the Finite Element Analysis and Design software Robot Millennium.
 
Excitech Structural Solutions will focus its efforts on the structural product portfolio available from Autodesk, namely Robot Structural Analysis and Revit Structure and more importantly developing plans for locally based training and support facilities so that its customers can confidently use the products to maximise the return on their investment.
 
Commenting on the launch of the new division, Managing Director Adrian Atkinson said: “Since the launch of the Autodesk’s Robot Structural Analysis software back in October 2008, there has been a problem within the industry in providing even the most basic levels of support and training for the new Autodesk RSA software. This has been a problem for both new customers and for those Robot Millenium users that had to migrate to the Autodesk platform. Having previously worked for Robobat, Nigel Rees has the technical knowledge and experience to provide the high level training and support for the industry and will be working with Excitech’s existing structural teams to train them up and develop their knowledge of the products. This means that Excitech is in the unique position of being able to partner with its customers and help them realise the maximum value from their investment in the latest structural design and analysis solutions.”
 
Atkinson continues by explaining that: “Excitech’s culture is about delivering more than just the design tools, it’s about delivering the implementation advice, developing the processes, uplifting the skills and knowledge-base and providing the ongoing day-to-day support. All of these are elements needed to ensure that implementing the right design and analysis tools is a complete success. The launch of this new division significantly strengthens our commitment to the structural engineering sector and we are looking forward to Nigel’s skills and experience adding significant knowledge and experience to our technical team.”
