Porsche Selects a PROSTEP Solution
Porsche AG in Stuttgart, has selected PROSTEP’s OpenDXM® GlobalX as its central data exchange platform.
Quality and reliability are basic requirements at Porsche, not only for its end products but also on the path leading to these products, namely during product development. What the company was looking for was a modern data exchange solution that could satisfy these requirements in addition to a variety of other requirements. An in-depth test phase and final benchmarking involving a number of different portal providers indicated that PROSTEP was best able to meet Porsche’s demanding specifications with its OpenDXM® GlobalX data exchange platform. This Internet-based solution enables the secure, stable and standardized exchange of files of any size and type. In addition, the extensive rights management facility offered by OpenDXM® GlobalX allows the access rights to data to be defined for individual groups of people as necessary and, of course, the solutions is also easy for users to work with.
Other requirements dictated that the data exchange solution should be scalable and that it be possible to integrate the solution in the existing infrastructure without investing too much time and effort so that, for example, single sign-on authentication is possible. Another requirement involved easy integration in existing backend systems.
