“EIT supports a large customer base of over 700 companies,” states Davide Torricelli, EIT president and CEO. “Many of our clients rely on a mixed CAD environment of several different solutions or must communicate with partners with differing systems. It was important in our selection of a PLM solution to pick a CAD-neutral company like SofTech that could offer a strong homogeneous suite of PLM integrations to the most popular 2D and 3D CAD solutions for our clients.”
“EIT customers will also gain additional productivity benefits with ProductCenter for its ability to centralize, associate, and control literally any and all product information generated throughout the lifecycle of a product, not just CAD files,” states Dante Cislaghi, manager of SofTech Italian operations. “ProductCenter opens new opportunities for information and process automation in engineering, as well as other supporting functional groups, which can greatly improve coordination, reduce development cycle times, speed release to manufacturing, and improve responsiveness to customers.”
Cislaghi adds, “We’re pleased to have EIT join our team. EIT offers the expertise to address the PLM needs of companies large and small, with PLM solutions for technical workgroups or much larger implementations. PLM is a natural extension of EIT’s business, which includes 2D and 3D CAD/CAE, rapid prototyping, finite element analysis, and other engineering specialties.”
