Omnify Software Receives SolidWorks Solution Partner Status

Posted on: Tuesday, 14 February 2006, 09:00 CST

Omnify Software, a leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software for original equipment manufacturers in the electrical, mechanical, medical, and defense industries, today announced its acceptance as a SolidWorks(R) Solution Partner. Omnify is recognized as a best-in-class software solution that openly integrates with SolidWorks software to enable more efficient design for SolidWorks customers.

Omnify offers a seamless interface between its PLM system and SolidWorks software, simplifying the upload process of released data for SolidWorks users. Via the OmniWorks(TM) module, Omnify gives customers the ability to generate bill of material (BOM) reports from any SolidWorks assembly and automatically upload BOMs, models, and final documentation to the Omnify PLM system. Omnify complements SolidWorks' PDMWorks(TM) by offering a location to store and manage released BOMs and associated files and synchronizing SolidWorks and Omnify revisions. Integrating Omnify PLM with SolidWorks software allows BOMs to be created automatically from 3D assembly drawings and gives engineers access to an extended data set (costs, status, availability, vendor information, etc.), and enables more efficient design by checking the data prior to uploading the BOM.

"The integration between Omnify and SolidWorks enables mechanical engineers to import BOMs directly into Omnify from a SolidWorks design," said Al Menez, mechanical engineer of OpVista Inc. "Due to Omnify's ability to interact with our other software tools such as SolidWorks, OrCAD, and Expandable ERP, it has allowed us to produce an ideal documentation process."

Leveraging Omnify PLM with SolidWorks design tools provides customers with:

-- Automation of administrative tasks -- New Part Request (NPR) -- Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) -- Bill of Material (BOM) processing and management -- Access to additional product development groups -- Eliminate disconnect between engineering and other groups in an organization such as Operations, Documentation Control/Configuration Management, Manufacturing Groups, and Test/QA. -- Unified product development process -- Manage all released data in one location (parts, BOM, engineering change, and documentation information). -- Sandbox Environment -- Create, modify, and organize BOMs prior to release without logging into the Omnify system.

"We are extremely happy to be recognized as a best-in-class solution by SolidWorks," said Chuck Cimalore, CTO of Omnify Software. "Becoming a Solution Partner validates our technology, but more importantly, it is an indication to our customers of our ongoing commitment to simplify and streamline their mechanical design process."

"We developed the SolidWorks Solution Partner Program to offer software and hardware products to maximize the productivity of our customers," stated Brian Houle, solution partner manager for SolidWorks. "Enabling more efficient design for SolidWorks users makes Omnify a natural fit for the program."
