Solid Edge SP What is it?
• A SharePoint App for Solid Edge users
who are finding that as the volume of
their data grows, using Windows
folders and network drives is limiting
their ability to complete design projects
efficiently
• Built on 10 years of technical
leadership in SharePoint based CAD
file management with Solid Edge

Why do I want a managed solution? Solid Edge SP customer’s perspective
“In an unmanaged environment it takes
me a lot of time just to control the files, in
a managed environment you can do
double the work in the same time.”
(Marc Boom, Eurotech Benelux)

Why do I want a managed solution? Solid Edge SP customer’s perspective
“Our strategy is to copy and repurpose
designs to be more efficient to stop
producing parts we have already made, a
file system is not conducive to that”
(Tad Feinstein, Teledyne Energy Systems)

Why do I want a managed solution? Solid Edge SP customer’s perspective
“When you want to understand the impact
of a revision you need to do a where-used
and see what else is going to be effected.
That takes ½ hour compared to ten
seconds in a managed environment.”
(Theodore Turner, Theebo Tech)

Why do I want a managed solution? Access-Share-Control
• Find the data they need
• Share it with others, manage their design projects,
• Provide the correct data to manufacturing
• Spend less time on non-productive data management tasks

Why SharePoint? Common platform
• over 125 million SharePoint licenses worldwide
• 65,000 customers (67% deployed org-wide)

Why SharePoint? Collaboration tool
SharePoint is a tool for collaboration
• telephone is a tool for communication
• meeting is a tool for decision making
• provides a central storage (vaulting) and collaboration space for documents,
information, and ideas.
• SharePoint Foundation - a free version of SharePoint
• attractive to manufacturers because it has a very low total cost of ownership
(TCO), leverages existing investments, and requires very little user training
• does not natively support the complexity of product development and
engineering data.
• SharePoint is also development platform by which it can be extended for
special needs like engineering (> 700,000 SharePoint app developers
worldwide)
