Actify Breaks the Mold With Nintex Partnership
Actify Inc. announced at SolidWorks World 2009 that it continues to expand its reach beyond the Viewer market. With a newly forged technology partnership with Nintex, a leading global innovator of software products that extend Microsoft technology, Actify proves that it has not missed a step in its continued efforts to enable product data collaboration across the extended enterprise.
Historically known for its 3D viewing capabilities, Actify has recognized the need for their customers to not only be able to use product data during collaboration, but to also be able to find the pertinent data efficiently, and safely share that data inside and outside the firewall. Furthermore, Actify recognizes their customers wish to manage that data during the process. Actify's partnership with leading technology firms like AirZip to integrate Intellectual Property protection and like Nintex to integrate workflow with the DesignShare™ platform provides users with a complete solution. Nintex Workflow 2007 technology enables users to create intricate workflow processes from within the DesignShare Foundation SharePoint environment, allowing organizations to not only automate business processes and SharePoint administrative tasks, but also track .3D and Native CAD files.
"By packaging our Nintex Workflow 2007 solution with Actify's DesignShare platform, both of which are based on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 technology, mid-market manufacturers have a product data collaboration solution tailored for their specific needs. We see the benefits of workflow being quickly attained by Actify's customers," says Brett Campbell, VP and Co-founder of Nintex.
"In today's economic environment, more and more companies are focusing on exactly how any capital purchase is going to impact the top or bottom line of the business," said Chris Jones, President of Actify. "Every purchase must directly link to a business benefit -- be it cost reduction or improving efficiency. Actify continues to deliver products that are designed to meet these needs and empower workers with the collaborative capabilities to find, use, share, and manage their data in a secure, accurate, and cost-effective way that is sure to improve their company's operating margins. Alliances with partners like Nintex, strengthens Actify's position as a global leader and ensures customers that they are being provided with the solutions they need to succeed."
