CIMdata Praised Cimmetry's AutoVue For Enterprise-Wide Product Visualization AutoVue Enables Global Product Development
February 2, 2005 - Internationally recognized consulting and research firm,
CIMdata today released a new product review paper entitled, "Product
Visualization Across the Extended Enterprise".
Co-authored by CIMdata President, Ed Miller and Senior CIMdata Consultant,
John MacKrell, this paper explores the benefits of employing visualization
and collaboration solutions across the extended enterprise using several
real-life case scenarios. The review paper also illustrates how AutoVue's
visualization and collaboration solutions facilitate global product
development by providing enterprises in all industries with the ability to
view, print, markup and collaborate on all data types throughout their
product definition processes.
"The AutoVue family of visualization and collaboration products from
Cimmetry Systems is a very powerful set of solutions," said John MacKrell.
"It delivers a mix of capabilities that enables it to support review,
analysis, approval, and verification activities on all kinds of product
definition information throughout the extended enterprise of companies,
their suppliers, partners, and customers. Cimmetry has a track record of
being attentive to customer needs and over the years has developed a line
of robust visualization and collaboration applications to address the needs
of product development and manufacturing organizations in industry segments
as diverse as discrete manufacturing, high tech, AEC, and process plant
design."
AutoVue provides native viewing, printing, markup, digital mockup and
real-time collaboration support for more than 450 engineering drawings, 2D
CAD, 3D CAD parts and assemblies, PCB layouts and schematics and office
documents without requiring the authoring applications. AutoVue integrates
seamlessly with several Document Management, Product Lifecycle Management,
Product Data Management, Enterprise Resource Planning, Workflow, ASPs and
e-business Portals, either directly or via the Web. AutoVue is available as
a Desktop Edition as well as a Client-Server Edition for Windows or UNIX
servers.
"AutoVue has far-reaching benefits for all stakeholders involved in the
product lifecycle," said Pam Petropoulos, Marketing Manager at Cimmetry
Systems. "AutoVue's visualization and collaboration technologies are
accessible and equally beneficial to the shop floor, design engineering,
manufacturing, purchasing, suppliers, customers, sales and marketing, and
provide all levels of an organization with the ability to apply their
knowledge and expertise throughout the product lifecycle."
"AutoVue's breadth of format support, intuitive user interface, on-line
real-time collaborative features, digital mockup capabilities, design
analysis features, and unified MCAD and EDA support, combine to deliver a
powerful solution that should be high on any organization's
visual-collaboration solution short list," concluded CIMdata's John
MacKrell.
