April 4, 2001 - Alventive, Inc., an innovator of collaborative design software,
and Cimmetry Systems, Inc., a leader in visualization solutions for the
manufacturing, engineering and office automation markets, announced today that
Cimmetry's AutoVue for Java technology will be embedded in the Alventive
Collaborative Design Solution Family.
Cimmetry's robust Web-enabled viewing technology will now be seamlessly
integrated into Alventive's products, enriching Alventive's current 2D viewing
capabilities and increasing users' ability to collaborate visually on multiple
file formats. The enhanced 2D viewing capability complements Alventive's leading
3D viewing technology. All viewing capabilities will be presented in a single
user interface, so that users can access over 200 different engineering,
graphics and Microsoft Office formats without ever leaving the Alventive
environment. Participants can easily markup these documents to communicate
design intent, and, via Alventive's workflow engine, securely communicate ideas
and changes while collaborating more efficiently on design projects of all
types.
Deployed on a corporate extranet, private exchange, or public exchange,
Alventive Collaborative Design Solutions enable manufacturers to overcome
technology and communication barriers and effectively involve the appropriate
participants early in the product development process. Benefits include speeding
time to value, reducing costs, designing more relevant products, and greater
adherence to quality procedures required for certification, such as ISO 9001.
Cimmetry's AutoVue technology provides a library of format support ranging from
3D/2D CAD, hybrid, raster and Microsoft Office formats.
"Alventive is pleased to be partnering with Cimmetry to expand our product
line's 2D viewing capabilities" said Gary Stoll, Vice President of Product
Development at Alventive. "Combining Cimmetry's best-of-breed technology with
Alventive's 3D and usability leadership creates the richest and most user
friendly viewing environment available in the industry today."
"Effective collaboration requires effective communication, which means getting
information to people and, in our electronic world of incompatible file formats,
making sure those people are able to get at the information." said Alain Danik,
Business Development Manager at Cimmetry Systems. "By combining technologies
from Alventive and from Cimmetry Systems, organizations can put specialized
communication channels in place that facilitate information exchange throughout
companies and across their supply chains. Design process participants can
collaborate on design ideas based on real-time information, thereby enhancing
the quality of the end product."
