Unified Live Collaboration

Unified Live Collaboration is the common platform that enables the entire PLM community to collaborate. It offers a unified view and access to all product-related IP, no matter where it resides within the extended enterprise. Unified Live Collaboration:

• Delivers a single view of IP across all business process domains, offering powerful collaborative process management capabilities and a service-oriented architecture to facilitate integration with other enterprise systems.
• Furnishes companies with a powerful data warehouse indexing and search capability to aggregate IP across all business process domains into a single meta-model so users across the extended enterprise can easily and quickly find product IP based on key words and file content regardless of how it was originally created. Indexing readies the information for ultra-fast on-demand response.

During the product development process, business process management and execution applications enable all stakeholders to collaborate and identify where process bottlenecks exist so they can address them and speed their overall productivity.

Unified Live Collaboration helps companies move from legacy enterprise systems with an IP asset federation capability that enables them to use legacy product information as their original IP, all available within the context of collaborative innovation product development business processes.

Finally, the IPLM Collaboration Studio provides the tools administrators need to manage and deploy the ENOVIA system with the flexibility required to lower the total cost of ownership while fulfilling unique business needs. It also provides the development tools and environment for CATIA, DELMIA, and SIMULIA.

In summary the domain contains the following sub-processes:

• Data Warehouse Indexing and Search aggregates IP across all business process domains into a single meta-model so users across the extended enterprise can easily and quickly find product IP based on key words and file content regardless of how it was originally created.
• Business Process Management & Execution enables collaboration involving stakeholders across product development and identify where the business process needs to be modified to eliminate bottlenecks.
• IP Asset Federation leverages product information from other enterprise systems by federating their IP into the context of product development business processes.
• PLM Collaboration Studio provides the administrative tools to manage and deploy the ENOVIA system with flexible tools that lower total cost of ownership while fulfilling unique business needs.
