BWIR To Demonstrate How EPDM+ Increases Multi-fold Productivity at SolidWorks World 2012

Barry-Wehmiller International Resources (BWIR) has announced plans to participate in the SolidWorks World 2012 international user conference and exposition, Feb. 12 - Feb 15, 2012 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California, USA. Senior BWIR professionals will be available throughout the show to discuss how Value Added Resellers (VARs) can increase their multi-fold productivity using custom built Enterprise Product Data Management Add-ins (EPDM Add-ins) developed by BWIR.

Christened as EPDM+, this set of ready-to-use add-ins offers solutions to many challenges faced by Enterprise Product Data Management (EPDM) users. BWIR EPDM experts have identified six functions that address these challenges across the product development cycle through custom-built packages that can assist many engineering organizations to unleash the complete potential of the EPDM tool.

BWIR and SolidWorks have nurtured a strategic business partnership over the past 10 years that has included an award for Best User Group in 2008 as well as the rare honor of BWIR hosting the SolidWorks 2008 Regional Technical Summit in Chennai, India, the only event of its kind held outside of the U.S. Continuing this tradition, BWIR was selected to give presentations at SolidWorks World 2012, focusing on Document reference validation tools.
