CoCreate White Paper: Model Manager - Managing Design Data in the Interconnected Enterprise

Posted on: Monday, 22 November 2004, 09:00 CST

FORT COLLINS, Colo., and SINDELFINGEN, Germany, Nov. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- CoCreate Software, Inc., a leading provider of collaboration and 3D CAD software, today announced the availability of a new white paper, Model Manager: Managing design data in the interconnected enterprise. The paper is available at http://www.cocreate.com/pr_white_paper.cfm.

People and systems outside the design team need access to design data to help them make sound business decisions. But design data management systems for engineering workgroups are often closed to those outside the design department. As companies pursue the product lifecycle management strategies necessary for an interconnected enterprise, strategies are shifting away from homogeneous, single-vendor solutions and toward united engineering and business systems. In this climate, the IT departments appointed to integrate these systems are less willing than ever to struggle with proprietary system extensions and expensive point-to-point integrations.

Demands for painless integration along with the need to respond to fast-changing business conditions have mandated a new model: flexible, united engineering and business solutions that open design data access across systems and business processes.

CoCreate's Model Manager leverages the power of XML Web services to tie into service-oriented architectures that link together CoCreate design environments with enterprise applications. As a result, Model Manager customers see higher business value and less expensive implementation, integration, and maintenance costs than brittle, point-to-point integrations could provide.

This white paper describes how CoCreate CAD and data management products make it possible to provide a system for controlling and managing data during the design phase, then seamlessly opening this system to users of downstream enterprise systems. The result? A truly interconnected enterprise.
