Ive too many drawings to vectorize in-house. How should I choose a conversion bureau such as the one run by Trix Systems?
There is a pretty clear relationship between price and quality in bureau conversion. We recommend starting with a pilot project comprising two stages. In the first stage establish that the bureau can deliver to your required quality for a small sample of drawings, say five or ten. From this limited experiment set the parameters for a second stage test with a much larger sample of your drawings (maybe 5% of your stock). The second stage determines how your bureau will perform under a real load. You and your bureau can establish a solid relationship during this test and sort out potential problems. And most important, involve your eventual users in the test. Have them check that the quality meets their needs. Some users may need help in defining their needs. You might want to think about an alternative to vectorizing all of your drawings. That is to scan all of your drawings and vectorize later as required. Trix Systems does offer quality-guaranteed Trix Systems Conversion Services. .
