SDRC announces strategy for e-biz collaboration

PUNE: Structural Dynamics Research Corporation (SDRC), a global provider of

e-business collaboration solutions for product life cycle, today unfolded its

new strategy for providing Internet based solutions to global manufacturers.

In order to comprehensively address the emerging e-business, collaboration

and innovation requirements of its customers worldwide, SDRC has aligned its

solutions offerings in four areas — e-Mechanical Design Automation (e-MDA),

e-Collaboration Products (e-CP), e-Product Knowledge Management (e-PKM) and

e-Business Integration (C-BI).

SDRC Asia Pacific vice president CH Yoo was very excited with the direction

chosen by the company. In his detailed presentation on ‘SDRC Corporate

Directions' at the three-day 9th SDRC User's Conference being held in Pune, Yoo

mentioned that SDRC's vision was to provide Web-based solutions that could help

its customers do a number of things. "We have spent considerable R&D

time and effort to define what these technologies mean in terms of the

requirements of our customers to leap to new levels of productivity,'' he

explained.

The four-solution offering would mean a reduction in time-to-market by

accelerating business transactions and processes across different systems and

companies, enabling robust communication among virtual teams regardless of

geography, language or applications used.

Yoo said that SDRC was delivering e-business solutions that would deploy an

information model, a process model, business functions and security policies,

all of which are independent of back-end systems. This is a Web of knowledge

that enables and informs the product lifecycle in an e-business framework. To

this end, many manufacturers use I-DEAS as a collaborative tool for agile

product development teams, he said.

In his keynote address, SDRC India country manager Narendra Reddy said that

SDRC was determined to be the recognized leader in providing collaborative,

e-business solutions for product life cycle management that span the enterprise

and fully leverage the Web.
