Collaboration tool is based on MS Sharepoint

Paul Boughton

Actify is releasing Designshare 2.0 and Publisher 3.0. Designshare 2.0 is an enterprise-wide collaboration package, based on Microsoft's Sharepoint platform, that allows users to quickly and securely track, collaborate on, and mange all product information including 2D and 3D data.

This updated release of Designshare features significant changes to the user interface, new and improved webpart functions, and enhanced performance capabilities.

Contributing to some of the improvements made in this release of Designshare are many of the enhancements made in Publisher 3.0, which features reduced memory usage, added capability to republish .3D files, and overall improved stability.

Designshare is said to make it easy to locate and organise project information in whatever way is required, using a data structure similar to the organisation's. Actify's system-neutral .3D files are now centralised and automatically published in Designshare, and the Viewer, Browser, and Uploader webparts give users the ability to view, measure, and mark-up 2D and 3D data directly within Sharepoint. Designshare provides a secure environment in which to share and manage all relevant documents, not just .3D.

Users also have the ability to control all relevant project information by managing access to product information including 2D and 3D data, document ownership, associations, and users can ensure that all data is versioned.

David Opsahl, Actify CEO, comments: Designshare is a unique solution that facilitates the collaboration and management of CAD data and all related documentsand can be used by small teams or large enterprises. No matter what your role is in the organisationDesignshare provides users the ability to finduseshare and manage all product information.
