What’s the difference between outsourcing CAD and CAD-as-services?

The main difference is ownership of the flow.  

By outsourcing CAD to BCI, the CAD solution developed by BCI can be partially or completely owned by you.  

  • Complete ownership means you can request BCI to develop the solution from scratch or start with your existing flow/solutions.  You will completely own the result.
  • Partial ownership means using a pre-implemented flow from BCI and customizing it to fit your needs.  The customization part can be owned by you, while the based pre-implemented flow will continue to be owned by BCI.

By using BCI as CAD services,  you are choosing not to own the flow and, as a result, reduce the cost and effort required by owning the flow (see the total cost of flow ownership below).  But what you gain is the capabilities that come with Dagogo.
