The e-Collaboration white paper
CXInsights e-Collaboration enables dynamic, real-time and secure e-collaboration by allowing bi-directional encrypted (128 bit) communication and feedback through the firewall between design and manufacturing as well as all the other partners in the supply chain over the Internet. A six-layer safety structure guarantees an absolute secure collaboration environment.
During the realization of a project most communication between the design environment and the manufacturing environment is based upon e-mails and phone calls. Too many times exchange of crucial information and vital agreements are based upon these two very fleeting media. A dangerous situation and a major source of mistakes, misunderstandings, problems and loss of information. Many data management systems e-collaboration capabilities are not more than a vault directory outside the fire wall where a collaboration partner can pick up a dataset. This is not e-collaboration of course, but data transfer in a more or less secure way.

The Out-of-the-box PLM white paper
"Out-of-the-box" PLM/PDM has many advantages. For a reasonable price, an industry specific solution is available, and maintenance costs are well known in advance. The customer does not have to worry about drawing up specifications or going through a system analysis. The supplier has the obligation to make sure that the tool has adequate functionality, that the technical market developments are followed and that the solution covers the advancing needs of the industry. This approach ensures that also small to medium sized companies can afford a solution in which industry expertise and best practice at the highest level are available for them.
Another main advantage of the out-of-the-box solution is that a general adoption of the solution in the marketplace will be followed by a general and standardized working method within the electronics industry, thus enabling OEMs to work more efficiently with a number of suppliers.
