Business Wire
MatrixOne Designer Central Provides Focused Environment for Secure
Distribution and Management of the Design Process among the
Extended Supply Chain MatrixOne, Inc. (NASDAQ: MONEE), a leading
provider of collaborative product lifecycle management (PLM)
solutions for the value chain(TM), today announced the availability
of MatrixOne Designer Central(TM), a comprehensive workgroup design
application that allows product designers and their extended supply
chains to manage the design process and collaborate from one
central application, regardless of the design tools they are using.
MatrixOne Designer Central eliminates the need to support multiple
CAD workgroup data managers. MatrixOne Designer Central allows
users to create workspaces for simple ad hoc collaboration between
project team members. Through its unique and open architecture, the
new MatrixOne Designer Central application can be deployed and
supported from a central location, while the file locations can be
distributed and synchronized around the world. From their native
electrical or mechanical design applications, designers can easily
access product design information that is vaulted in MatrixOne PLM,
and, with local workspace management on their own desktop, users
can easily compare work-in-progress to the master designs in
MatrixOne. With MatrixOne Designer Central's collaboration
capabilities, needless design iterations can be eliminated and
real-time viewing and markup of designs can occur even in the
absence of the native design tools originally used in the designs.
Meetings can be scheduled to securely review design content
provided as part of the meeting, while discussion threads and
markups allow for the capture of innovative thoughts in a natural,
informal way without restricting end user creativity. Most
companies today are tasked with driving high-quality products to
market as quickly and inexpensively as possible, often with limited
resources. To achieve this, companies need to tightly align the
design-related activities between globally dispersed development
teams, suppliers, and customers. Without having a way to manage
design globally as one business process, errors frequently occur as
product development team members are unable to recognize the impact
of design changes until it is too late. "Designer Central allows
our customers to design right the first time, by allowing early
visibility and feedback to everyone involved in the design
process," said Sam Zawaideh, senior vice president, products and
solutions, MatrixOne. "By providing real-time access to product
designs, companies can enhance collaboration across the value
chain, speeding time to market and cutting development costs." With
MatrixOne Designer Central users can: -- Provide work-in-process
data management across all popular mechanical and electrical design
tools -- Visually collaborate around the design information or
other information related to the design -- Schedule meetings for
review at any step in the development process -- Securely provide
design information to suppliers and customers -- Create private and
public workspaces for organizing and sharing designs -- Manage
local workspaces in the context of the PLM system -- Upload
complex, multi-tiered, design hierarchies into MatrixOne --
Recursively check out complex, multi-tiered designs into the CAD
tool, or onto disk -- Apply full revision and version control to
all design models -- Alert users with design change notifications
to their current work -- Create ad-hoc routes for asynchronous
review of design content -- Capture discussion threads containing
design suggestions and improvements MatrixOne Designer Central
