Unhappy with rigid Workflows included with many PLM/ERP systems ? - Try Onespace.net.
Engineers are typically involved in many processes - be it design reviews or change orders. Most of these processes extend into the customer and supplier base and generally require high levels of visualization. Typical workflow technology utilized by most PLM/ERP systems requires the process to be pre-defined and implemented. OneSpace.net extends this to allow ad-hoc processes to be adopted.
OneSpace.net makes creating, managing, and completing inter-company engineering processes easy regardless of the complexities of your organization and those of your partners. Using OneSpace.net's unique envelope capability, you can establish processes for your entire organization, or just for your development team. Include only the people and files necessary and you're on your way to repeatable process control.
Automatic notification, roles, rules and tasks let everyone involved with the process know exactly what to do and when to do it. Check on your process at any time and know at-a-glance the status of every task, sign-off, and affected item. By user-defined rules you can add a participant or move items to a new folder when a particular state in the process is reached. Files included in the process are automatically protected from accidental overwrite, so you know exactly what information your process participants are using. And process tasks can be synchronized with Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes so even casual users are reminded of their deadlines and deliverables.
Not many product development organizations have this combination of flexibility and control with their internal PLM systems. Now OneSpace.net allows you to extend business-critical processes to your entire value chain economically and with confidence. There's little or no IT support necessary to include people from other locations or other companies. Simply add key partners to your OneSpace.net project team to allow them to participate in your engineering processes.
If your engineering processes are suffering because of geographically dispersed team members and data, then OneSpace.net's Envelope capability is the right solution for you. Don't let your existing product development processes fall apart. Extend them to your entire value chain with OneSpace.net!
