Anyone going to PLM 2012 in Munich? ShapeSpace will be in attendance at this, which was for us a very informative event when we were there in previous year. We will be interested to show and discuss our approach to Data Product Anywhere, Searching and disseminating data in a clear understood format, not just 3D CAD but information outside Engineering held in ERP,or hidden in local disc drives. The idea is to avoid power user licenses and training which are costly, but assist and improve decision-making. It provides valuable information to many, not just a few

Following collaboraton with Actify we are addreessing the business problem of accessing and disseminating  information across an Enterprise ( not just CAD) but info from CRM, ERP and buried on local drives in Excel, as identified by Jim Brown on http://bit.ly/ujumRy

The idea is to avoid the investment in Power User licenses, training and support, but open up Product Data to many, not just a few.
