Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions Standardizes on Informative Graphics' MYRIAD for Product Design Review

Informative Graphics Corp . (IGC) announced that Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions has selected MYRIAD® professional view and markup software for use in its design review and production of drilling and exploration equipment.

Atlas Copco, a Sweden-based international corporation, recently purchased Ingersoll Rand's Drilling Solutions Division, making them the global leader in the design and manufacture of industrial drilling products. "MYRIAD has long been in use at Ingersoll Rand, and when something works well, you don't want to change it," said David Bianco, IT/IS Manager-US at Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions. "It was an easy decision to bring MYRIAD to Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions-we've maintained toolset continuity and a solid record of internal customer satisfaction regarding the product," he added.

MYRIAD is a multi-format viewer that allows Windows users to view, print and mark up office 2D/3D CAD files documents, and images, without requiring access to the native authoring software. Used by thousands of engineering, manufacturing, and construction companies worldwide since 1991, MYRIAD 2D/3D viewing offers features and functionality that allow technical and non-technical personnel alike to interact with design engineering data in hundreds of formats. MYRIAD also supports automated Web publishing with active banners and watermarks to protect intellectual property when sharing files downstream.
