Technia Offers ENOVIA SmarTeam Express Packages: Affordable, Easy To Install, With Rapid ROI in Just Days
Technia now offers SmarTeam Design Express (SDE) for Multi-CAD, an out of the box solution that helps small to medium sized businesses (SMBs) get started optimizing their use of product knowledge. SDE lets manufacturers fully implement an optimized collaborative product data management scenario in just days.
"Based on years of experience delivering solutions to the SMB market, we have come to understand their distinct PLM needs," said Alex Zeltcer, General Manager, ENOVIA SmarTeam. "SDE is affordable, easy to install, involves little impact on hardware, and no services up front. We believe it is a unique enabler for bringing mid-sized organizations into the growing community that is gaining tangible business benefits through PLM." SmarTeam Design Express for Multi-CAD is a preconfigured solution designed to help SMBs benefit from PLM by beginning with basic product data management. Highly intuitive, with streamlined functionality accessed from within the designer's everyday CAD environment, SDE eases design teams into an optimized way of working.
SmarTeam Design Express for Multi-CAD offers SMBs a bottom-up approach to meeting design department needs - and with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations. Its optimized scenario integrates design data and offers the first level of PLM functionality. This enables designers to securely access, manage, and reuse the most accurate, up-to-date product information, gaining efficiency, avoiding errors and reducing risk.
While enabling design teams to improve productivity today, SDE goes a significant step further. It provides a documented methodology for ensuring PLM solution expansion of a fuller scope on the same platform, such as:
• Improving design methodology based on company-specific needs
• Automating product data and business processes, such as Bill of Materials management and change management, across the organization and sites
• Bridging to manufacturing and other enterprise applications
• Linking design management to OEM customers or suppliers
• Tailored solutions for SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge and Pro/ENGINEER
SDE is a first step towards an evolving PLM solution that can be built modularly, according to a company's capabilities and needs.
