EAC Product Development Services

Engineering and technical teams generate much of an organizations’ most valuable intellectual property – customer requirements, engineering calculations, detailed CAD designs, product documentation. And the list goes on.

While these organizations have rich solutions for creating and evolving these complex forms of information, a key challenge remains: efficiently sharing them with the broader team. The value of this content, and the productivity of the extended product development team, would skyrocket if access to this information could be made easier.

Introducing Windchill ProductPoint, a SharePoint-based solution for product development. Windchill ProductPoint offers an easy to learn, quick to deploy solution for sharing CAD and other structured data among teams.

For Windchill customers, Windchill ProductPoint will complement current deployments by optionally exchanging CAD data across existing Windchill systems. Plus, Windchill information can be presented in a familiar SharePoint browser, extending product development information to a broader audience.

Smaller companies currently using network folders or FTP sites to manage CAD files may find that Windchill ProductPoint alone is sufficient to meet their needs for protecting and sharing product data.

Capabilities

• Manages multiple formats of CAD files, their structures, and inter-relationships
• Extracts information from Windchill systems for presentation in SharePoint browser
• Publishes and visualize accurate, lightweight product viewables
• Enables visual navigation and interrogation of files dependencies
• Shares CAD data across multiple Windchill systems

Benefits

• Improved access of engineering content to broader product development teams
• Easy and fast deployment
• Minimal learning curve
• Low total cost of ownership
