The introduction of CADLink for iManage WorkSite MP will combine the power of
iManage's collaboration content management solution with the CAD capabilities of
industry-leading products like Autodesk AutoCAD(R) and Bentley MicroStation(TM).
CAD drawings and the intricate network of references between the CAD files
typical of complex designs, are all stored, accessed and controlled through
iManage Worksite MP, enabling engineers to work concurrently and improve design
cycle time. Engineers using the solution can access drawings directly from the
iManage repository through the familiar menus of their CAD applications,
speeding the adoption of content management practices. Combined with the
powerful extranet capabilities and tight security model of iManage WorkSite MP,
CADlink enables businesses to collaborate across their value chains on design
and construction projects at significantly reduced time and cost.
"A content management system that fully integrates CAD drawings is of huge value
to our users," said Greg Bosworth of Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB), a
recognized leader in providing transportation, land development, and
environmental services. "CADLink for iManage WorkSite MP gives us the best of
both worlds, enabling our engineers to access complete collaborative content
management functionality to improve the quality, speed and accuracy of their
work without leaving their familiar CAD application environment."
CADLink for iManage WorkSite MP offers key benefits to users in the process
manufacturing, utilities and engineering, design and construction industries,
including:
-- Increased speed of design development/faster time to market -- By
enabling multiple parties to collaborate with full version control
and reference file handling, the solution enables highly efficient
concurrent engineering. Easily administered access control provides
for wider audience visibility into the design process. By managing
CAD drawings alongside all supporting documentation and background
for easy reference, CADLink for iManage WorkSite MP shortens project
ramp-up time and helps new team members come up to speed quickly.
-- Reduced costs -- By making a single version of each drawing easily
accessible by authorized users, CADLink for iManage WorkSite MP
reduces the number of CAD licenses needed for reviewers and
consumers while conserving LAN and WAN bandwidth and reducing costs
for storage and records management.
-- Increased engineer productivity -- Powerful search functionality and
dedicated project workspaces reduce the time needed to locate
project-related information, and facilitate the efficient re-use of
project templates and designs. Full version control eliminates
errors resulting from engineers working on the wrong version of a
drawing. Caching functionality reduces the time needed to access
drawings over a network -- even those stored in remote locations.
-- Reduced risk -- CADLink for iManage WorkSite MP reduces a firm's
financial liability in two ways: improved accuracy and better
management of project content reduce the likelihood of claims
resulting from errors or overruns; the solution also supports full
regulatory compliance by capturing a complete audit trail of how
information is accessed, when and by whom.
-- Improved quality -- Instant access to relevant design information;
control and distribution of standard practices and procedures; and
improved collaboration help teams leverage the full resources of
their firm to deliver the highest possible quality of work.
Said Tim Taylor, chief business development officer of McLaren Software, "CAD
design and content management are both critical areas of functionality for the
industries we serve, and integrating the two is extremely effective for users.
CADLink for iManage WorkSite MP gives engineers the ability to draw on the full
resources of both applications from within a single unified, productive and
simple-to-use environment."
"Our agreement with McLaren Software is our latest initiative to enable
customers to extend their iManage content management capabilities to encompass
every kind of content they use -- even highly complex documents like CAD
drawings," said Steve Pattison, iManage vice president of business development.
CADLink for iManage WorkSite MP is currently available; it will support AutoCAD
2000, 2000i, 2002, 2004 and MicroStation 8 and 8.1; and will be compatible with
the Windows 2000, 2002 and Solaris 8 operating systems.
