Process and CAD Management Product Links Business Processes, CAD Design

FORT COLLINS, Colo., and SINDELFINGEN, Germany - May 10, 2004 - CoCreate Software, Inc., a leading provider of software for project team collaboration and CAD drafting and modeling, today announced the release of OneSpace Designer for the mySAP(TM) Product Lifecycle Management (mySAP PLM) solution. The product is available immediately.

This integration of OneSpace Designer, CoCreate's CAD tool for 3D modeling, with mySAP PLM, SAP's group of adaptive business solutions to optimize critical business processes, allows companies to accelerate product development by integrating product design into business processes driven by enterprise resource planning, management, and supplier relationship management solutions.

Enterprises using OneSpace Designer for mySAP PLM can now make product information readily available to sales, marketing, manufacturing, field service, and maintenance personnel without compromising the work efficiency of the individual designer. Overall, the process and CAD management integration allows enterprises to reduce time-to-market and time-to-volume, while improving cost baselines and product quality.

"We've responded to industry demand to bridge what until now have been two independent technical environments," said William M. Gascoigne, CoCreate CEO. "With OneSpace Designer for mySAP PLM, users of OneSpace Designer now have integrated, end-to-end business process and CAD management capabilities in the SAP® solution-based environment."

Key functionalities of OneSpace Designer for mySAP PLM Integration include support for concurrent engineering; complete mapping of the standard CAD model and associated data in mySAP PLM; end-to-end release and change processes; and the ability to both access material masters in mySAP PLM from OneSpace Designer and distribute them to downstream SAP solutions and non-SAP solution-based systems.

OneSpace Designer for mySAP PLM also offers the concurrent workspace, a unique CAD management support for the product design team. The concurrent workspace provides interactive performance such as fast loading and storage of all OneSpace Designer CAD data, and it fully supports OneSpace Designer capabilities such as partial loading and design snapshots. The concurrent workspace also supports true concurrent engineering-designers can safely work on separate parts within a shared 3D assembly, and they can reload newer versions of the model as needed. Additionally, this workspace enables controlled CAD data synchronization with mySAP PLM, as well as release support.

OneSpace Designer for mySAP PLM is available in English. It is priced at $1,620 USD. It can be used together with OneSpace Designer Modeling 2004 (version 12 or later) and with mySAP PLM (SAP R/3® Release 4.6C or later).
