Autoweb Awarded Three-Year Contract in New Business
Autoweb, is expanding its presence in the aerospace industry with a contract award from a major aerospace supplier.
The three-year agreement will automate the key processes used by the aerospace supplier to manage the translation and exchange of computer-aided design (CAD) data within its enterprise and with its customers and suppliers. Autoweb's Fusion-DX and Global Supplier Network (GSN) Services will replace the supplier's current manually-orientated processes to deliver significant improvements and waste reductions.
The aerospace supplier will incorporate Autoweb's solution over eight global sites, which will reduce duplicate work and inefficiencies. The solution will be integrated with the company's PLM Teamcenter Engineering and NX CAD translation solutions which facilitate end-to-end management of engineering data exchanges via Autoweb's GSN network.
"With these solutions working together, the client is expected to significantly increase productivity at all of their global sites," said Martyn Davies, vice president of European Operations for Autoweb. "By employing Autoweb's software as a service model, the client will significantly reduce costs associated with managing these services internally."
The Autoweb solution connects clients with their customers and suppliers via the GSN network -- allowing for a two-way exchange of CAD data -- which is simple and highly secure.
"All of our tools are designed to provide our valued original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers and their suppliers with the ability to easily expand their use globally," Davies noted.
Autoweb will exhibit during the 2007 Society of British Aerospace Companies ( SBAC ) conference on March 29 in Manchester, United Kingdom. Autoweb representatives who plan to attend are Martyn Davies, Vice President of European Operations, and Mark Embra, Sales Executive.
