Adept PDM Provides SolidWorks, SharePoint Integration

By DE Editors

Synergis Software's Adept 2011 product data management (PDM) system offers the SolidWorks community tight integration with SolidWorks 2012.

With the 2011 upgrade, Adept delivers advanced vault replication, two classes of web clients, and integration with Microsoft SharePoint. It improves global enterprise collaboration on critical engineering projects while providing a unified view of data and documents to all stakeholders. Scalability and system performance have been proved significantly.

Adept Vault Replication allows multiple geographic locations to share a common Adept Vault, providing users at any location with fast, local access to files. Replication, which can be scheduled to run at any desired time interval, occurs automatically to ensure users always access the latest version of a document. When binary differencing is enabled, only the changes between files" not the entire file -- are replicated to other sites.

Adept Explorer, a thin Web client that allows users to find, view and print, red-line, assign, and copy documents, has a new interface with improved controls and graphical components for greater flexibility and ease-of-use.
