FORT WORTH, TEXAS, USA
— Many of you non-Texans may not know that Fort Worth
is known as the city "where the West begins." The
phrase refers to Fort Worth's rich cowboy heritage and rough-and-tumble
beginnings. Now, Fort Worth is a bustling metropolis full
of culture and diversity. But why are we sharing this bit
of trivia about Fort Worth with you? Because this month's
user profile comes from "Cowtown" and introduces
y'all to Carter & Burgess' Greg Hall.

Greg Hall is the Manager for Information Technology for the
CAD services at Carter & Burgess' Fort Worth office. Carter & Burgess has 36 offices in 21 states, 2,300 employees and
is uniquely organized into "core competencies" by
market sector, instead of a discipline-based structure like
most AEC firms. Greg, who loves spending quality time at home
with his family, has also managed to find time to organize
the company's first employee racquetball league, which will
be sponsored by Carter & Burgess.
The following is Greg's take on how LearningBay
fits into his company's workflow:
"I manage the CAD support staff (five including myself),
who supports approximately 250 multi-disciplined CAD drafters
and designers, of which 180 are MicroStation users. In addition,
I provide CAD support to other Carter & Burgess offices
and I'm responsible for acquiring and maintaining CAD-related
corporate software agreements and licensing.
"LearningBay fits into our workflow very nicely.
We use the LearningBay 'straight out of the box.'
Its in-depth modules show the full capabilities of MicroStation
to the users at their convenience, keeping the hours spent
on non-billable time to a minimum. Currently we are training
users on MicroStation V7 Essentials and MicroStation
V8 User Update.
"LearningBay works well as a training tool
for new staff members as well as for our seasoned MicroStation
users. We have found that our new engineers in training and
engineering interns have had more exposure to other CAD platforms
than MicroStation. LearningBay brings someone new
to MicroStation up to speed and right into production quickly.
"For the seasoned MicroStation user, LearningBay's
V8 Users Update focuses on the new features and capabilities
MicroStation V8 while showing that Bentley still maintains
a continued resemblance to the old MicroStation look and feel.
This makes the transition for our seasoned users much easier
than having to deal with huge learning curves during peak
production intervals."
