Operational Impact
The use of Altium's data management system has enabled DKB Resources to effectively manage the complex design process, ensuring adherence to client-specific requirements and standards. This has not only enhanced the company's reputation for quality and reliability but also its ability to communicate effectively with clients. The system allows DKB Resources to translate and document the details of its design into varying formats and share this information with the various parties involved. This capability sets DKB Resources apart from its competitors and allows it to provide a higher level of support.
