Collaborative product development services from Autodesk

By Our Special Correspondent

BANGALORE SEPT. 12. Outsourcing has today become a key strategy in maintaining business competitiveness. This in turn brings in the need to maintain close collaboration with the external business partners — whether they be designers, manufacturers, suppliers, sellers or buyers. With time-to-market and minimum cost being of the essence, this collaboration needs to be as much in real time as possible.

Autodesk, the global leader in PC-based CAD software, is offering two lines of hosted service to aid such collaboration. One is Autodesk Streamline, which is a project collaboration technology which enables a company to share manufacturing design and related project data instantly, easily and securely with its partners.

The second collaborative service that Autodesk is offering is a document management system called Autodesk Vault which is integrated with Autodesk Inventor 7 software.

Autodesk Vault stores and manages all engineering files regardless of file type — CAD, text, binary, office documents, sound, video and the like.
