CIMdata in the News: Vista Unlocks CAD Data
The "Vista Unlocks CAD Data" article in Design News discusses the recent flurry of activity among CAD vendors to leverage Microsoft Corp.'s new Vista operating system and Office 7 productivity suite "They see this platform as a way to proliferate 3D design data to mainstream users who are integral to the product development process, but not necessarily part of the traditional engineering and design organization." Included in the article are the views of several PLM software vendors as well as this comment by our Director of Research:
"The whole process of collaboration and sharing design work with other partners or parts of the business is being seen today by engineering as more of the way to do business rather than being viewed as a danger," says Ken Amann, director of research for CIMdata Inc., an Ann Arbor, MI, consulting firm specializing in the CAD and design market.
