SDE is SMARTEAM Design Express for Multi-CAD, a new release from Dassault Systemes, which has been developed specifically with smaller enterprises in mind.
SDE answers their requests for a design collaboration-documentation management tool which is affordable, quick and easy to implement (without the need for added services and training), scalable as they grow in the future, and can integrate with more than one kind of CAD package.
Dassault Systemes' catch cry is that SMARTEAM Design Express for Multi-CAD can be fixing a business' CAD issues in just 10 days. This is made possible because it is an out of the box package and comes complete with a Quick Start kit. The kit bundles the software with all key implementation services (i.e pre-configured database, installation documents, training material, methodology guide).
The beauty of this data management product is that it seamlessly connects to all of the most-used CAD solutions: CATIA V5, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Pro/ENGINEER. that means an SMB needs only one data management tool to service all of its design departments.
SDE is a robust product having been birthed from the far more comprehensive OEM/TierOne-focused SMARTEAM solution. SDE features easy management of CAD and office related documentation, full product document history with traceability, full revision and version control, advanced search and query capabilities, controlled document sharing, use of standard designs, embedded viewing of more than 450 data formats, proven methodologies for design teams, straightforward user scenarios, cataloguing support, tools for bill of materials management.
Data management is being recognised by industry analysts as a crucial requirement in the ability to be first-to-market, right-to-market, reduce design-production cycles, lower design costs, improve communication between design teams and manufacturing and management. Now, SMB's will be able to improve their competitiveness and profitability.
