SPED Interviews Rick Allen, President of Intergraph CAS. Asks How's it Going?

Two years ago, Coade and Intergraph, both longtime Society of Piping Engineers and Designers (SPED) corporate members, merged and were acquired by Hexagon, a firm strong in metrology, scanning and GIS.

At the end of a sold-out CADWorx and Analysis University (http:\\CAU2012.coade.com) program in September 2012, Dr. William G. Beazley, executive director of SPED sat down with Rick Allen, president, Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis Solutions and senior vice president, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine.

SPED asked how this combination was working out?
