He continues: "With AutoManager TeamWork, the next generation of EDM workgroup software, we will continue to maintain our dominance in the departmental EDM market by providing simple, affordable and complete document management software that is made for rapid deployment and easy configuration." As the new generation of EDM workgroup software, AutoManager TeamWork 2002 is designed for fast and easy implementation using wizards and pre-defined templates.

A powerful extension to CAD design tools and office applications, the intuitive interface promotes quick user adoption while increasing efficiency, speed, and accuracy.

Other distinctive features include: - Viewing and printing of more than 250 document types.

- Rapid search tools for documents and their revisions.

- Collaborate via LAN, WAN or the internet.

- Reference management tools to find external parts and assemblies.

- Automatically track, compare and manage drawing revisions.

Advanced capabilities in AutoManager TeamWork 2002 include full support for mechanical engineering workgroups transitioning from 2D or 3D design tools.

Seamless integration with AutoCAD, Mechanical Desktop, Inventor and SolidWorks, makes it easier for workgroups to manage both 2D and 3D drawings and related data through the document lifecycle.

A separate AutoManager TeamWork Web Access module is available for design teams that would like to view, share and exchange their designs on the web.

With the Web Access module, design engineers will be able to access their drawing and design data from anywhere, anytime using the Microsoft Internet Explorer.

The AutoManager TeamWork Web Access module is available at $149 per license.

Building on the proven capabilities of AutoManager WorkFlow with advanced technology from Cyco's benchmark AutoManager Meridian system, AutoManager TeamWork 2002 positions design workgroups for increased productivity, speed, and success on all projects today and into the future.

When the need arises to scale AutoManager TeamWork beyond the department up into the division or among more than 30 users, users can upgrade to AutoManager Meridian, a more scalable and uniquely customizable document management solution.

Because AutoManager TeamWork and AutoManager Meridian share the same technology foundation, upgrading is a simple process.

To celebrate the launch of this brand-new product, AutoManager TeamWork 2002 will be aggressively priced starting at $725 per license.

This includes a special introductory $100 discount plus an additonal $150 dollars off when AutoManager TeamWork is purchased with multiple years of software subscription.
