During the Reseller Preview Day, DriveWorks VP & Co-founder, Maria Sarkar, and Commercial Director, Mark Sarkar hosted reseller-specific sessions to provide updates on our technology and to make sure our resellers are well-placed to support our ever-growing number of users worldwide.

Our resellers heard from DriveWorks CEO, Glen Smith on extending the capability of DriveWorks with integrations. He also gave a sneak preview of What’s New in DriveWorks 21, ahead of the official What’s New sessions.

Throughout the day we also welcomed other members of the DriveWorks team to share important news and insights with different reseller teams.

In the final segment of the day, Maria and Mark were proud to announce the winners of the DriveWorks Reseller Awards 2022.

Wednesday, 22nd March: Highlights

The day kicked off with a warm welcome to DriveWorks World  from Maria Sarkar, VP & Co-Founder, explaining why we host our annual technical knowledge and networking event. Glen Smith, DriveWorks CEO then joined to tell us about the What’s New in DriveWorks 21 sessions happening throughout the event.

A lot has changed over the past few years at DriveWorks HQ, so next up we showed a tour of our office buildings. This included a first look at our new offices and dedicated training room. Of course, we couldn’t film a tour of our HQ without featuring our Resident Feel Good Officer, Ruby, the Labrador.

We then took attendees on another tour – this time of the DriveWorks World 2023 event app, to make sure they knew about all of the valuable technical learning content and networking opportunities available throughout the event.

Following these introductions, it was time to kick off the event and get straight into the technical content.

Implementation

In the first technical session of the day, we talked about implementation. Our Technical Engagement Manager, Oliver, introduced our DriveWorks Experts – Ian, Dave, Phil, and Paul for a technical panel discussion. They shared their top tips for getting started with your implementation, how to plan your projects and our team’s favorite hidden gems.

Rules

Will, along with our Systems Team Manager, Jake, took us through a project run through about Rules. Everything in DriveWorks is based on rules, they are the foundations of all DriveWorks projects. Jake took us through the DriveWorks rules builder. We then followed this sessions with an expert panel session with more questions from the audience and another live demo by Jake.

What’s New in DriveWorks 21

Of course, it wouldn’t be a DriveWorks World without DriveWorks CEO, Glen Smith announcing What’s New in the latest release of DriveWorks. Broadcast on the live stream, Glen shared parts one and two of all the exciting new additions and functionality added to DriveWorks 21. In part one, Glen shared what’s new with Design Automation and in part two Glen shared the latest additions to Rules.

Automating CAD

Our Technical Specialist, Will, explained how Automating CAD is at the core of DriveWorks technology. Followed by a project run-through, exploring a project that is available inside our Tech Tips library, modified by Senior Applications Engineer, Ollie. Ollie and Will were then joined by Dave for an expert discussion on the topic and they answered questions from the audience.

Workflow

Oliver joined us back in the studio again to host a Workflow overview and project run-through with Technical Manager, Dave. Dave took us through a specification flow before being joined by Senior System Developer, Thomas, to talk about triggering tasks within workflows. They hosted an expert panel to answer questions from our attendees which also featured another live demo.

Thursday 23rd March: Highlights

Attendees were welcomed to the third and final day of DriveWorks World 2023.

The day then kicked off with a panel discussion, recapping the sessions presented on Wednesday. Oliver, Tom, Paul and Philip discussed some of their favourite sessions from the day before, and of course the announcements Glen made during the What’s New. They also answered some of the questions and messages we’d had from our community.

We then got going with the technical sessions for the final day.

Integration

Our experts discussed the different ways DriveWorks handles, shares and re-uses data to provide seamless integration with other company systems. Integration Product Manager, Adam, joined Oliver to take us through the CPQ DriveApp. Adam explained why it is so useful for those wanting to create their own CPQ solution. This was followed by an expert panel discussion where they were joined by Thomas and Jake from the DriveWorks Systems Team who shared best practices and tips & tricks for integrating DriveWorks with other systems.

Deployment/Reporting & Diagnostics

Some more familiar faces from the DriveWorks team joined us back in the studio for a the Deployment/Reporting & Diagnostics overview. They talked about the built-in reporting & diagnostics tools in DriveWorks that make it easier to set up and maintain your own DriveWorks configurator. This was followed by a Deployment/Reporting & Diagnostics panel discussion about troubleshooting and the best ways to take a step back from a project, and use the method of ‘Rubber Ducking’ – of course a rubber duck was in the studio for this session!

Forms & UI

In the next session, we explored Forms and UI. This included a special workshop looking at Before & After of Forms & UI with DriveWorks’ Technical Marketing and UX Specialist, Rob. In this session, Rob opened up one of our old configurator examples and highlighted some areas that weren’t very clear. Rob explained some of the quick and easy changes he would make to improve the user experience. Rob shared lots of tips and tricks on improving usability and aligning DriveWorks form design with existing company branding.

Oliver was joined by Will to host a Before and After Workshop, showing some of the features to make 3D scenes and models more realistic. Dave and Ian from the DriveWorks Technical Team then joined Oliver and Will for an Ask The Expert session where they answered questions from attendees about DriveWorks 3D technology and the new features in DriveWorks 21.

Maria Sarkar

Co-Founder & VP, DriveWorks

“Throughout this year’s DriveWorks World, I’ll be looking for and listening to feedback from others outside the business. It’s an ideal time for all of us to learn from this great cohort of DriveWorks users, to ensure we continue to innovate and meet market and customer needs.

When we reach the end of DriveWorks World, I know I’ll miss the buzz of us all being together! But relish the challenge of preparing for the latest release and next events.”

Sharing ideas, knowledge and experiences are always a key part of DriveWorks World. These conversations help us learn how our customers are using the software, and provide an opportunity for our customers to learn from and inspire each other.

We Want to Hear From You

Throughout DriveWorks World, we like to hear from a variety of companies using DriveWorks in different ways. It doesn’t matter where you are up to with your DriveWorks project, we like to hear from customers at many different stages of development with their project.

We’re looking for real world examples of how DriveWorks is used, so if you’re a customer who wants to share your project, a reseller who has created a stellar demo you want to share, or a partner who has worked on a project with a customer – we want to hear from you.

It’s completely up to you what’s included in your customer story. You can share as much or as little detail as you’re comfortable with. You can tell us about all the DriveWorks features you’re using, or focus on one specific area.

Presenting at DriveWorks World gives you an opportunity to showcase your company and the way you are using DriveWorks. We’ve also had customers who have used their presentation slot to ask for ideas and feedback for their project. But most of all, you will be sharing your knowledge and helping others gather ideas for their own projects. It’s an opportunity to help others learn from what you have learned along the way.

We’re looking for real world examples of how DriveWorks is used, so if you’re a customer who wants to share your project, a reseller who has created a stellar demo you want to share, or a partner who has worked on a project with a customer – we want to hear from you.

It’s completely up to you what’s included in your customer story. You can share as much or as little detail as you’re comfortable with. You can tell us about all the DriveWorks features you’re using, or focus on one specific area.

Presenting at DriveWorks World gives you an opportunity to showcase your company and the way you are using DriveWorks. We’ve also had customers who have used their presentation slot to ask for ideas and feedback for their project. But most of all, you will be sharing your knowledge and helping others gather ideas for their own projects. It’s an opportunity to help others learn from what you have learned along the way.

Submit Your Call for Papers

Sharing stories on how DriveWorks is used or highlighting a particular area of technology is an important part of the knowledge sharing at DriveWorks World. If you are interested in presenting at DriveWorks World 2023, please submit your call for papers – we would love to hear from you.

The deadline for submissions is February 1st 2023. After this date we will shortlist entries and be in touch to confirm next steps. We will be on hand along the way to answer any questions you have and help you get familiar with the event platform.
