Born in 1899, CPL Concordia is one of the most important and long-standing Italian cooperative companies in the Energy and Services sector. From its original territories, the cooperative has managed to take root in new areas, creating employment and development opportunities. Land reclamation, water canalization, and the construction of railway, road, and water infrastructure have characterized the company’s work for many years. Since 1963, with the creation of the first gas network, CPL began a period of transformation and rapid development in the entire energy market. Today, CPL offers a wide range of services, including engineering, construction, and services in the Energy, Gas, Cogeneration, ICT, and Water Service sectors.
Until 2005, CPL CONCORDIA used AutoCAD application software produced by an American company for plant design. “The main problem with this software” states Nicola Zapparoli, CPL CONCORDIA’s Mechanical Engineering Service Manager, “in addition to the high maintenance cost, was the impossibility of obtaining comprehensive answers and within acceptable times to the problems that gradually arose during the use of the program.” This obviously created considerable inertia in the design activity.
CPL CONCORDIA therefore decided to look for an alternative software which, in addition to simplicity and reliability, guaranteeD a punctual and timely assistance service.
