PC-DMIS to CALYPSO

Mikeg
I just got a job offer for a company that is using PC-DMIS now but is switching over to ZEISS CYLYPSO. It sounds like they are prepared to spend some money on training and I was hoping to hear from anyone who has done this.
Is there a big learning curve?
Is CYLYPSO a big difference?
What were the biggest hurdles you encountered?
Is one software easier to learn the other?
Any thoughts and information is appreciated.
Thanks.

  • Salesmen. That's why they are switching. They talk to the guy with the checkbook and convince them how much better 1 is than the other. As far as Ziess go, top notch all the way. I was at the Factory a few years a go when we had the insanity of thinking of even switching over. We started a new division and that boss thought it was a better deal for a Ziess. Maybe it was but being all the people we had know DMIS and DMIS only so it was a looooong painfull 2 years for him. So since he bought one the higher ups here at our division were considering the same thing so we could support him..( should have bought a B&S like we have so we could support him with our eyes closed..) . Nevermind the insanely large number of programs/parts we have here to maybe convert over to a new software ( years probably) . They had an ex Wilcox guy working on a "converter" to make DMIS into Calypso.....I think it went not very far and he now works for Hexagon ( again, kind of ?)

    GOOD LUCK !
