Create,manage & share digital design information

Cadac Group HoldingThe Cadac Group specialises in providing automated solutions

for creating, managing and sharing digital design information. In

addition, Cadac is an independent in-house developer of soft-

ware for applications on the Microsoft SharePoint Platform.

This Cadac Organice Product Suite is applied successfully all

over the world, in particular by project-oriented organisations.

The Cadac Group has a reputation as a reliable and pragmatic

partner for its clients, with a focus on helping them to improve

their design processes and project communication. The Cadac

Group is an Autodesk Premier Solution Provider, a Microsoft

Gold Certified Partner and an Oracle Certified Partner.

The Cadac Group was established in 1986 by Jan Baggen, who

was 20 years old at the time. While still studying architecture

at Hogeschool Zuyd (Zuyd University) in Heerlen, he estab-

lished the CAD Advies Centrum (advisory centre), which

later became the basis for the present Cadac Group. Under

his leadership, the company grew to become an international

organisation with branches in Europe, the US and Australia. Not

surprisingly, in 1998, he became the youngest entrepreneur ever

to be named Manager of the Year in the Netherlands. At the

end of 2008, the Cadac Group had a staff of 200 consultants

and generated annual revenues of approx. 30 million euros. Jan

Baggen still lives in Heerlen with his wife and three children.

Architecture, Engineering & Construction Solutions

From its very beginnings, the Cadac Group was an integral part of

the architectural market. Its client base includes a great many archi-

tectural and engineering consulting firms, ranging from small to very

large. All of them can count on receiving the best support avail-

able from true specialists. Cadac’s consultants have a background in

architecture as well as practical hands-on experience and are inti-

mately familiar with the conceptual world of architects. These char-

acteristics are becoming increasingly valuable, in particular as the

world of architecture and construction is now facing important new

developments in the area of CAD software and document manage-

ment. The step to Building Information Modelling (BIM) will also play

a significant role in this respect.

DeModus

The Cadac Group uses DeModus, a practical working method which

aims to provide the client with an effective operating environment

from the very start. DeModus is an operating environment devel-

oped in-house by the Cadac Group, it also has a library for Autodesk

Revit. Developed on the basis of Dutch and Belgian architectural

practices in relation to design, drawing and construction, it is very

focused on productivity and enables users to get the maximum

from the Autodesk Revit package. DeModus is interdisciplinary in

nature and therefore suitable for Revit Architecture as well as Revit

Structure.

Manufacturing Solutions

The mechanical engineering team at the Cadac Group helps clients

to design better products, machines and industrial plants more quickly

and at lower cost. They help optimise and automate design processes

by ensuring that they are carried out digitally. The designs are created

in 3D with Autodesk Inventor and in 2D with AutoCAD Mechanical,

Electrical and P&ID. The result is a digital prototype with a photo-

realistic visualisation that can be used for simulation purposes.

To prevent any loss of information, during each design phase, infor-

mation is added to this digital prototype and safely stored in the

Product Data Management (PDM) system, which can be linked to

the client’s ERP system if desired. During the design process, the

digital prototype can also be shared with others. With the help of

Autodesk Navisworks, it is possible to combine CAD data from

various systems in order to analyse a total project. After your

system is up and running, the Cadac Group continues to serve you

with ongoing developments and improvements. For example, they

are initiator of the Autodesk Inventor user group, which enables

them to regularly update its clients and share experiences.

NXTdim

The use of 3D design processes results in more precise construc-

tion drawings and therefore fewer production errors. It provides

clients with the tools to convert the design into a structure more

intelligently and to document the process in an error-free fash-

ion. And the savings in terms of time and energy are even greater

outside the drawing office than inside. NXTdim enables you to get

better control of design time. It does so by optimising the design

process with the help of standardised and tried and tested “best

practices” developed by the Cadac Group on the basis of over two

decades of experience.

NXTdim consists of a documented method for implementing the

engineering environment and for working with it. In addition, it

provides Dutch content, handy tools and a Product Configurator

(PCF) which you can easily set up yourself. NXTdim is available for

Autodesk Inventor, the Autodesk Vault products and for Autodesk

ProductStream Professional (NXTdim PDM).

Cadac Professional Resources

Cadac Professional Resources carries out a wide range of projects for its

clients in the areas of mechanical engineering, architecture and structural engi-

neering, electrical engineering and GIS. It does so at the client’s site or in its

own drawing offices with the help of Autodesk software such as AutoCAD

and 3D packages such as Inventor, Revit and Civil 3D. The projects are carried

out by highly trained specialists who are part of the permanent staff at Cadac

Professional Resources and have been trained to work with the latest design

and drawing software. Besides calling on help from our specialists, our clients

also have the option of renting a complete CAD system. Cadac Professional

Resources also provides recruitment and selection services.

NedGraphics

NedGraphics has been part of the Cadac Group since 2007 and produces

design and geographic information systems for the public sector and the civil

engineering sector. The extensive client base served by NedGraphics includes

the Dutch Department of Waterways and Public Works, various Dutch provinces

and over half of the municipalities in the Netherlands as well as their suppliers

such as engineering firms, contractors and specialised agencies.

NedGraphics specialises in providing automated solutions for designing,

managing and publishing digital drawings and maps, often linked to other infor-

mation from applications used by third parties. As an open and independent

supplier, NedGraphics provides solutions that work with a great many different

technologies and ensures that these solutions can be linked to and integrated

with the applications used by its clients. It does the latter at its own risk and

cost.Innovation and continuity are at the heart of NedGraphics. Accordingly, a

broad team of development specialists is continually working on new applica-

tions as well as functional or technological modifications to existing products.

Two striking examples of this are NedInfra and Aviation.

NedInfra

With NedInfra from NedGraphics, clients can get the maximum possible

benefit from their AutoCAD Civil 3D and AutoCAD Map software. Although

these software products offer a great many functionalities and function as

global standards, they are not always in line with specific national requirements.

NedInfra bridges this gap by providing a collection of applications for civil engi-

neering design purposes, which allows clients to optimise their work in line

with national standards. Of course, the focus is also on productivity and on

providing an effective and balanced operating environment.

NedGraphics Aviation

NedGraphics developed smartGlobe, an aeronautical charting system, espe-

cially for the aviation market. The companies it does business with include

airline companies and air traffic authorities such as EUROCONTROL, NATS

and NAV CANADA. The system enables users to produce and manage maps

together with the relevant aviation information. The smartGlobe Web Data

Manager is a web-based application for accessing, visualising and managing

static aviation information. MapTrans is a map conversion utility.
