Collaborate
Optimize product development and collaboration within design teams
Your engineering teams spend valuable time searching for CAx models, drawings, and other product data, as these are distributed across different authoring systems and not synchronized. The resulting data silos significantly hinder information exchange and collaboration:
-
There is uncertainty about which version is the current one.
-
Changes to product data are hard to trace as design decisions are not adequately documented.
-
There is no solid foundation, for instance, to coordinate the impact of a size change in a mechanical component on the electronic design.
- Conclusion: The lack of coordination and reliable data makes the product development process error-prone and inefficient.
CIM Database Cloud Collaborate
In the intricate realm of product development, especially at the interfaces between mechanics, electrical engineering, and software, efficient collaboration is essential. With CIM Database Cloud Collaborate, we build a bridge between your teams and enable seamless, cross-discipline collaboration on a centralized data platform.
Rooted in the principle of “Single Source of Truth”, Collaborate synchronizes your systems, thus ensuring the integrity and consistency of your data and documents and strengthening collaboration. This synchronization not only accelerates document retrieval, but also enables focused collaboration through streamlined workflows and effective task management.
Thanks to this centralized platform, you keep track of even the most demanding development projects and meet compliance requirements with minimal effort.
The result: Improved process quality enables you to further develop your products while reducing costs at the same time. CIM Database Cloud Collaborate enhances collaboration within your teams and paves the way for successful product development.
Collaboration made easy
An efficient and transparent project organization plays a crucial role in the success of your construction team. The functionality of CIM Database Cloud "Collaborate" helps you optimize collaboration within your team and accelerate product development.
