SofTech Announces the ProductCenter PLM Discovery Program
SofTech, Inc. announced its ProductCenter™ PLM Discovery Program as a means for companies to achieve the benefits of a PLM solution without the customary uncertainty of whether or not they have invested in the right technology or long term partner.
The program is designed so that in just one week, not months or years, a live PLM solution will be functional using the company’s product data in their own environment. ProductCenter will be tailored to meet the company’s specific requirements and include PLM functionality such as: vaulting and viewing product data; global collaboration; directly managing multi-CAD files from applications such as SolidWorks®, Autodesk® Inventor®, AutoCAD® Mechanical and Electrical, CADRA®, or Microsoft® Office; automating the engineering change process as well as managing the Bill of Materials while achieving the primary objective of managing the complete product definition as the ProductCenter Bill of Information.
“Today’s economic climate is challenging manufacturers to work more efficiently and to promote productivity improvements throughout the organization. Many companies are facing the challenge head on by implementing a PLM solution to manage product data and processes,” states Jean Croteau, SofTech’s President. “Understanding that companies today are in no position to risk valuable dollars on technology investments that may not lend them the expected returns, SofTech is pleased to offer our ProductCenter PLM Discovery Program to companies in search of a PLM solution without the normal risk that is associated with such a decision. Through ProductCenter, companies are able to improve the management of the product Bill of Information, facilitate internal and external collaboration throughout the global enterprise, support standards such as ISO, RoHS or FDA, implement new product development processes and integrate PLM with other critical enterprise applications, such as ERP, MRP, SCM, and CRM systems.”
Croteau goes on to say, “We are confident that this program will not only deliver a practical PLM solution that can manage a company’s entire product lifecycle and improve their business practice efficiencies, but also demonstrate the business partnership that our ProductCenter customers have grown accustomed to. This low-risk ProductCenter PLM Discovery Program allows companies to accelerate the selection process and to prove the justification for a PLM solution.”
