FMV Orders Share-A-space From Eurostep
FMV (Swedish Defence Material Administration) has selected the PLCS based software Share-A-space from Eurostep for the future implementation of their Product Data Base (PDB). The PDB system is one of the core systems at FMV keeping track of product data for the defence systems in Sweden. The selection criteria stressed compliance with the new ISO standard for Product Life Cycle Support, PLCS (ISO 10303-239). It also stressed the importance of buying a COTS solution with existing references.
"We are very pleased to announce this contract, says Gordon Ishammar, Director of Sales in Eurostep Commercial Solutions. It is a well known fact that Eurostep is a competence leader in PLCS and we have been heavily involved in the design of the standard, contracted by PLCS Inc. Share-A-space builds from standards like STEP and PLCS and this order from FMV proves the value in being standards compliant. We believe this will enable FMV and its suppliers to drastically cut cost and lead time in managing information and at the same time increase the quality of information. We will deliver an out of the box solution, providing a cost effective way for FMV to get their product data into the PLCS format, ends Gordon Ishammar."
