(OTCBB: SOFT), a proven provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, announced today that its ProductCenter™ PLM solution has been awarded Gold Product Certification for SolidWorks® 2006 software by SolidWorks Corporation. SofTech is a long standing SolidWorks Gold Partner, having maintained certification for over five years.
SolidWorks 2006 features a host of new and unique capabilities to help designers and engineers bring better products to market more quickly. ProductCenter PLM is an ideal complement, automating vital product processes, including new product release, ECO/ECNs, regulatory compliance, part standardization, bills of material, and more. ProductCenter operates as an integral part of SolidWorks software to substantially increase product development efficiency.
“SolidWorks and ProductCenter unite for a fully integrated environment of product design, process automation, collaboration, reporting, and information management,” said SolidWorks Solution Partner Program Manager Brian Houle. “The two work in synergy, and are proven to help our customers get their jobs done faster and better. As a result, companies compete more effectively with lower cost of goods, increased revenue, and faster and more new product introductions.”
Standout capabilities of ProductCenter, such as ProductCenter Workflow and Named Links, allow for flexible automation of almost any business process and associations of product information that model a true working environment. Up-to-the-minute information and reports can also be custom delivered to SolidWorks users in personalized frameworks or “dashboards” created through use of ProductCenter Dashboard.
SolidWorks users are also able to meet on-line with fellow employees or value chain partners for product reviews, to view or redline their SolidWorks models or supporting documentation, or to conduct other discussions using ProductCenter Collaboration. In fact, ProductCenter supports almost any type of information created in the design, manufacture, and support of a product, including mixed-CAD environments of SolidWorks and other 2D and 3D design applications. As a result, all product information is centralized, linked, securely accessed, and controlled for maximum product development efficiency.
