Announced on the Onshape blog:
“Today we are introducing Onshape Enterprise, a new premium edition of Onshape designed for modern companies with sophisticated design processes that include multiple contributors across multiple locations. Onshape Enterprise helps these companies accelerate their unique design processes while protecting IP to a degree that is impossible with old CAD and PDM.
We’ve been working on Enterprise secretly for over a year and some of our most sophisticated customers have had production access for six months. They love it. Here’s why...
In larger companies, an ever increasing number of internal and external stakeholders across many locations need access to design data for products that are produced with increasingly complex and encumbered design processes. As these companies strain to make decades-old CAD and PDM technology operate in their complex environment, they are forced to choose between being agile or having some semblance of control. They experience chronic pressures and problems in several areas including:
- Control – Unmanaged (and multiplying) CAD file copies put many companies’ IP at serious risk.
- Agility – The average engineer spends less than half his or her time on actual design work, with the balance eaten up by administrative and software issues.
- Access – Provisioning new CAD seats and PDM vaults requires tremendous IT overhead, which prevents new team members from contributing right away.
- Visibility – While nearly every other industry has been reshaped by real-time data and analytics, engineering and manufacturing have been left behind.”
