Integration
Technology is great, but the key to its success is its implementation and integration with both your processes and current systems.
You may want to merge your 3D data with your PDM and ERP information, deploying it as email or through a web portal for wider access. You may even be looking to go the other way, and drive your PDM and ERP systems from 3D input via the production model.
Either way, the ease of integration is a usual promise from software vendors until you find that they actually mean integration with their other products which are tightly controlled through their own impregnable file formats.
3DVIA takes the opposite approach allowing you to effectively integrate with anything at any stage of the process through a wide open XML file format and extensive set of integration tools for any situation.
What does this mean to me?
The opportunity to...
-
Combine PDM, ERP or other system data with the 3D model
-
Minimise integration costs
-
Re-use existing systems
-
Easily combine the latest 3D viewing technology into your existing company portal
-
Minimise impact on existing processes providing maximum return on investment
-
Provide widest access to data through web based distribution
-
Allow 3D model to be access point into your systems (or even drive them)
Don't forget all downstream distribution is free to the consumer.
What can I actually do with the software?
More for the techy, you can...
ActiveX
Use extensive ActiveX API to integrate with web portals and in turn, your extended systems.
Microsoft Office
