How many seats at your office?
How many seats at your office?
(OP)
Was just wondering how many seats your company has. I had been under the impression that companies buy SWx in the at least 10's of seats if not 100's, but I found out today, that doesn't seem to be the "norm" in my (new) area.
Here are my stats
Aerospace Company / 45 Engineers / 28 Seats of SWx / about 20% utilized.
Previous Employer
Aerospace Company / 115 Engineers / 100 Seats of SWx / About 80% utilized.
Before That
Aerospace Company / 100's of engineers / 100's of CATIA seats / utilization unknown.
And one more
Aerospace Company / 5 Engineers / 1 Seat of SWx / 400% utilization (if you know what i mean)...
Feel free to share

Eng-Tips site blocked at work, what a waste. I still keep up with what is posted one way or the other. Very worthwhile.

12 seats: 7 ME's (100%), 4 drafters (1@95%/1@50%/1@25%/Checker@10%)(a lot of Acad legacy), 1 supervisor (occasional)
Last Company:
120 seats, probably 85%@ 100% utilization. A mix of Doc Control/ME's/Design drafters/mfg drafters/Mfg Engnrs. Since it took a three day weekend with all three IT guys and4 guys from our VAR to load new version of SW we always got the version when it closed out the serviice packs and went ot a new version. That way IT didn't have to constantly load new SP's. Of course, this was easier for IT, but it meant that most of the problems we had in, say SW2004, were answered by, "That was fixed in the 2005 version."

Last job 6 AutoCAD seats used 100% by all.
I agree with CBL, this forum is an invaluable resource that cannot be viewed in dollars and cents (or pounds). It has helped me a great deal.
