Whether you are an IT Manager, a Designer, an Entrepreneur or a Design Manager, you want your computer systems to be as stable and efficient as possible for running your high-end software. Hangs, crashes, instability, file corruption and inconsistent performance result in frustrated and distracted designers. Using my experience as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), a Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert (CSWE) as well as a Customer Support Expert, I will show you some of the best ways to optimize your Windows environment for use with advanced software like SOLIDWORKS, DraftSight and more. These tips will help you to maximize your uptime, minimize disruptions and keep your system healthy long term. Some strategies can be implemented by end-users and some may need input from your IT support/admin team, so we will include a PDF outlining our recommendations, including the rationale and potential impacts for each, that you can provide to your IT team to help facilitate the process.

Applications Expert, MLC CAD SYSTEMS LLC

I am a Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert (CSWE) and have been a SOLIDWORKS user for nearly 10 years. In that time I have worked as a Designer, CAD Manager and now I work for MLC CAD Systems as a Customer Support Expert. In this role I am focused on facilitating our customers' success by way of technical support, training and creating content for our online knowledge base. I have over 20 years experience working in practical applications of Information Technology. I love using technology as a tool to improve business processes and enhance efficiency. I have worked with everyone from end-users to executives to implement proactive measures to reduce the occurrences of repetitive mistakes and systemic failures. My approach to technology is that it should enhance productivity and provide each team member with as much assistance as possible in completing their assigned duties accurately and quickly.
