Top 5 Civil 3D Implementation Obstacles

For a long time now I’ve been talking about the benefits of Civil 3D and how, when implemented properly, can result in tangible benefits. But what happens when Civil 3D is NOT implemented properly? Simply put: nothing good. A failed Civil 3D upgrade can have a far greater impact than just the lost time and wasted effort that went into the unsuccessful project. Typically, it creates an atmosphere of general resistance to any future attempts in improve a process; it may result in disciplinary action against or firing of the project lead; and perhaps most important, it may put your organization at a disadvantage when directly competing with other organizations and in the ability to attract and retain talented staff members. So, what can we do to give our Civil 3D implementation projects the best chances for success? Unfortunately there is no silver-bullet answer, but there are several obstacles that impede success which you can spot before you ever get started. Identifying these hurdles and developing a plan to surmount them will help you and your organization avoid failure and reap the benefits that Civil 3D has to offer. More after the jump.
