SpaceClaim Announces SharePoint and Inforbix Support

By DE Editors

SpaceClaim has released SpaceClaim Data Management for SharePoint, a workgroup data management tool for extended engineering and product development teams to collaborate around engineering designs and data.

The solution is based on Microsoft SharePoint and is available to all SpaceClaim 2012 customers at no additional charge. It works with existing SharePoint servers, making the cost of deployment "negligible" for the majority of companies that already use Microsoft solutions, according to the company.

The solution provides basic workgroup-level check-in, check-out, and versioning for SpaceClaim documents, including support for external dependencies, parts, assemblies, drawings, and 3D markups. No external user interface is required.

SpaceClaim also announced that Inforbix, a cloud-based productivity tool, now supports the SpaceClaim data format. SpaceClaim users can now use Inforbix to aggregate, find, access, reuse, and share SpaceClaim data types located anywhere in their company in addition to other data types such as CAD drawings, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and PDFs.
