"The new capabilities we've added to this version go farther to
creating a true online collaboration and product development process than ever before," said Geoffrey Hedges, director of solution marketing of CoCreate. "From initial discussions with customers, both the Personal Collaboration and Drawing Manager products have been extremely well received, and the idea that our customers can evaluate those products in their own environment without any risk or effort is truly unique."
CoCreate is offering a free, no risk evaluation version of Personal Collaboration to all 80,000 active users of OneSpace Drafting and ME10. Via a 24-hour secure service, users can simply log into the hosted evaluation service, upload a sample drawing, and instantly explore realtime collaboration with other members of the team, including suppliers or customers.
