Cadac Organice Issues Updated Case Study about CAD Drawing Management
Cadac Organice, Microsoft Gold ISV Partner and developer of the Cadac Organice Solution Suite (SharePoint-based Engineering Document Management and Control), has issued an updated case study about CAD Drawing Management in SharePoint.
CAD drawings are created by CAD Engineers, but are typically being used by others, like planners, construction workers, production employees, project managers, and partners. It is therefore important that internal disciplines and external partners are able to easily access and view CAD drawings. But how do you provide access to CAD drawings? How can users open and view CAD drawings without the original CAD application? How can you ensure that users can only view released CAD drawings? And how do you prevent users from making unauthorized changes to CAD drawings?
CAD drawings not only need to be managed within the Engineering Department, but a management system should also allow easy access for the entire organization and also for external partners and suppliers.
Cadac Organice has issued an updated case study about CAD Drawing Management, addressing the challenges that companies are phasing when they try to unlock CAD drawings to the internal and external (project) organization. The case study describes how a solution based on Microsoft SharePoint helps project-driven engineering industries to manage and share CAD drawings. It describes how companies with basic CAD needs can manage CAD drawings entirely in SharePoint, and how companies with PDM solutions can publish released CAD drawings to SharePoint for sharing and collaboration.
The Case Study about CAD Drawing Management is available for download from http://www.organice.com.
