CoCreate Software has announced an agreement with GE Plastics whereby GE Plastics will become a service provider using CoCreate's award-winning OneSpace technology and services for a new portal
CoCreate Software has announced an agreement with GE Plastics whereby GE Plastics will become a service provider using CoCreate's award-winning OneSpace technology and services for a new collaboration portal at GE Plastics' www.gepolymerland.com and www.geplastics.com sites.
Powered by OneSpace, GE Plastics will offer secure, web-based engineering collaboration capabilities to its worldwide customer base.
Increased outsourcing, combined with globally distributed supply and design chains, requires new ways of working together.
OneSpace is the industry's first real-time, Internet-based, CAD-neutral collaboration solution enabling globally distributed companies and their partners to share design information in a virtual conference room to work simultaneously on a model for rapid resolution of conflicts or to discuss alternative production options.
OneSpace is positioned to help increase communication, reduce time to market and keep development costs down.
GE Plastics' gepolymerland.com is a leading e-commerce plastic industry portal.
It provides an extensive set of services and tools that allow customers to buy, design and research while interacting with the plastics industry on the Web.
"As a service provider, GE Plastics will be able to provide powerful engineering design capabilities and an overall framework for global collaboration to its thousands of worldwide customers," said Tilman F.
Schad, president and chief executive officer of CoCreate Software.
"We look forward to working with GE Plastics and its extensive global network of users." GE Plastics will offer OneSpace technology in an application service provider (ASP) capacity to plastics engineers who wish to conduct collaborative sessions.
Registered users to the gepolymerland.com site can reserve time to conduct a OneSpace session.
Participants in multiple locations will be able to log into the session and participate in a virtual conference-room meeting.
A new OneSpace component, OneSpace SessionManager, allows users to quickly and easily schedule time on the GE Plastics portal.
"With OneSpace SessionManager, collaborating via the virtual conference room is as simple as participating in a conference call," said Doug R.
Johnson, vice president and general manager of CoCreate's shared engineering division.
"OneSpace SessionManager handles all the logistical arrangements to ensure an effective and productive OneSpace session so participants can focus on the important issues at hand.".
