Intermec sought a better way to connect its widespread teams and communicate complex project information.
OneSpace.net provided a common data repository for tracking and organising project data, automatic change notification, and a specialised application-sharing tool.
"As product development has evolved to include multi-site locations and worldwide partners, we've needed more key collaborative functionalities, and OneSpace.net provides everything we need", said Ryan White, Intermec's Mechanical Engineering Manager.
White said that Intermec is especially pleased with the convenience of initiating online meetings.
"We can fire up an online meeting in seconds now", he said.
"Our distributed teams are able to approach OneSpace.net meetings just like stopping by the desk of a local team member to ask a quick question".
Brad McDermott, Intermec's CAD Administrator said that the decision to roll out OneSpace.net worldwide was an easy one.
"We're getting a great value", he said.
"In fact, the hardware, software and consulting costs to support our complete rollout cost us less than a single licence of some of the massive enterprise products".
"And unlike those solutions, OneSpace.net was a pleasure to deploy".
"Adding OneSpace.net on top of our Microsoft framework felt like following a cookbook recipe that always comes out right".
"It's a particular thrill for us to bring such a long-time, valued customer a whole new level of project team support", said William M Gascoigne, CoCreate CEO.
"Leading companies such as Intermec need integrated, no-hassle project collaboration technology that fits how teams work today".
OneSpace.net is an engineering collaboration toolset designed specifically for product development teams and their contributors.
It includes a secure project workspace, an integrated meeting centre for web-based meetings, application sharing, instant messaging, decision and task tracking, and a 3D model explorer for evaluating product designs.
OneSpace.net can be purchased as either a hosted service for $120 per user per month, or as a licensed product for $995 per user.
Built on Microsoft.NET technology, OneSpace.net is designed for small- and medium-size businesses and workgroups.
