WSP has for a long time been one of Trimbles largest customers in Sweden, and we wanted to know how Quadri has transformed their way of working recently. We sat down to talk to three of the main drivers of digital transformation, information management and model based design at WSP.
Anders Lisspers, Jonas Brodd, Erik Holmqvist, WSP
Anders Lisspers, responsible for delivery tools, Jonas Brodd, department manager Digital & Information Management and Erik Holmqvist, BIM Manager, and also responsible for Quadri at WSP. At WSP, in Sweden, we use around 200 different engineering software applications and spend around 8 M€ a year for licenses, support and training. My work is to get the most out of that, says Anders Lisspers. To help me on this mission I have around 30 persons responsible for one or several softwares - and Erik is the one responsible for Quadri, Anders continues. At WSP our strategy is not to be locked in to specific software systems. We are completely aware that it is the project's needs that will determine what software we use. Trimble is one of our top three software providers. For example we are big users of Tekla and have a long history of using Novapoint for road design. The first thing we discussed during our conversation was WSP's view on how to meet the demands from their customers. Is it about being ahead and at the forefront or is it only about fulfilling the current rules and regulations?
