In my previous articles ‘Advantages of 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Offer’ and ‘SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer’, I had emphasized one word many times, that is ‘Collaboration.’ In cloud-based solutions from 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, collaboration is the key benefit, and it enables you to connect you with your team and other stakeholders in a single cloud environment. It provides a safe, social, connected, informed, and structured environment for designers and others who are involved in product development.
3DEXPERIENCE Social Collaboration – Understanding the need
The demand for seamless communication & information sharing between the stakeholders of product development and manufacturing has been increasing within organizations decentralizing their design and manufacturing. With Design Anywhere Build Anywhere (D.A.B.A) getting widespread adoption, the benefits of cost-effective choices, regardless of the location of availability, requires a common platform for sharing information and process flow progress visibility to all stakeholders to make informed decisions.
In many instances, the lack of a secure, transparent, quick-to-deploy data management and information collaboration tool is a major bottleneck for organizations. When a huge knowledge resource and parallel research is conducted during the product conceptualization stage, the need for an information sharing and collaboration tool is even more critical. Communication between key stakeholders, subject and domain experts, design, manufacturing, quality, and entire project management teams can’t rely on traditional email and voice-based systems, which are not centralized. Lack of information on the manufacturing defects arising out of design defects occurring in the manufacturing stage is not referenced by the design teams. This increases the chance of repeating errors and wasting time, resources, and money. Even Start-Ups, whose early-stage ideation and concept development relies on information sharing and capturing, the lack of a structured data and document system integrated with secure social collaboration tools impacts the project’s overall progress during the early stages.
Social Collaboration on 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
3DEXPERIENCE platform addresses the major challenges in collaboration for organizations of all sizes. This cloud collaboration environment includes secure, transparent, and powerful data management tools without the IT headaches or expensive server requirements. From Dassault Systemes, who is a leader in Product Life Cycle Management and makers of SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, SIMULIA & ENOVIA, among other tools, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is designed to address the needs of any team, big or small, to collaborate anytime, anywhere easily and on any device. Projects don’t need to be linear, with one group waiting for an official hand-off. Instead, team members can complete and update their portions of the project concurrently, thus saving a substantial amount of overall time. In addition, any invited team members can transparently see the product development timeline and get up-to-the-minute reports.
Features of 3DEXPERIENCE Social Collaboration
One Platform – Endless Possibilities
With the Social collaboration in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, you can boost the talents and innovation from inside and outside of the organization using the power of communities.
Eliminate Communication Barriers
Organizations can eliminate the communication issues by enabling 3DEXPERIENCE platform access to all the team and other stakeholders. You can improve communication and collaboration through the created communities via posts, talks, chats, video sharing…etc.
Collaborate with Peers and experts
You can collaborate with your peers and experts by creating your own communities in 3DSWYM. Expand your network and explore the best practices in technology, training, and new updates.
Simple Data Management
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers the best built-in data management, and the apps help you to maintain quality product life cycle management. The collaboration makes the process of defining and conducting project tasks more simple. All the data can be available in the same place, and everyone in the system will be up to date.
How does the Power of 3DEXPERIENCE Collaboration accelerate your business success?
3DEXPERIENCE Platform with the collaboration offers the following benefits
- Secure File Storage and Management
- Easily share files with others
- View and Mark-up 3D CAD design data
- Communication and knowledge sharing
- Access design filers from anywhere and view
- on any device
- No server maintenance required
- Stay informed with automated and get access to centralized alerts
Poor collaboration and communication may lead to delays, errors, and increased costs in your product development process. The technology of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform enables you to manage the people, data, and documents among your team, partners, customers, suppliers, and manufacturers. A design change, a new shared file, a new update in the technology …all can be updated to all in the communities. With the strong collaboration, 3DEXPERIENCE Works can improve product profitability for your company.
