Many ShipConstructor users have already realized the value of SSI’s new information-sharing tool, SSI EnterprisePlatform PublisherLT. This product was launched in September 2014 with the ShipConstructor 2015 release. However, a number of clients are mid-project in an older version of ShipConstructor and would like a way to utilize the new functionalities with a previous ShipConstructor release. To facilitate this process, SSI has made available a version of PublisherLT that works with older ShipConstructor versions.
Engineering Data can now be easily accessed in any format by anyone from any department at any time.
PublisherLT allows individuals – even those not using ShipConstructor directly - to gather, convert, manipulate and save information from the ShipConstructor Marine Information Model (MIM). Stakeholders throughout an organization, across departments, do not always know where to look within the product data model to find the information they need to do their jobs. A key benefit of PublisherLT is that it makes information available by mining the product data model (or MIM) for exactly the information requested. Specific CAD/CAM knowledge is not required. All stakeholders interact with the engineering data directly using PublisherLT.
PublisherLT automates multiple time consuming, repetitive and error prone existing manual workflows. It is easy to configure PublisherLT and from then on, running it is as simple as a press of a button.
Maximize Value of Engineering Staff.
Without PublisherLT, everyone in an organization who needs information from the product data model (the MIM) has to interrupt the work of highly skilled engineers to first find and then provide what they need. The information also has to be in a specific format and organized in a logical and consumable way. PublisherLT provides a better way of doing things because it makes the engineering data available to anyone in any format. This streamlines the process to a few clicks and makes it so that engineers are free to focus on engineering.
