SMARTEAM - Development Suite allows organizations to deliver PLM capabilities to enterprise-wide systems and transfer structured product data between them, helping organizations meet their business needs faster and reduce infrastructure investment. With SMARTEAM Development Suite, organizations can use PDM capabilities and functionality from any system, platform, or location. Additionally, SMARTEAM Development Suite provides a mechanism for sharing data between different data management systems. Information can now be easily shared between systems within your organization, and across partner companies and supply chain members, without imposing any restrictions on using specific software applications or systems.
Product overview
SMARTEAM - Development Suite is a tool for enhanced development. It expands on SMARTEAM Foundations Windows-based customizability by providing the ability to access the SMARTEAM API from any platform, via the Web. SMARTEAM Development Suite enables organizations to leverage SMARTEAM collaborative PLM (with PDM capabilities and PDM data) into any system, on any platform, anywhere, so as to streamline business processes, leverage investments, and enhance applications. Organizations can then share data in-house, across their value chain, or within their customer base in a cohesive manner, regardless of the system in use.
The SMARTEAM Development Suite is composed of two components: SMARTEAM i-Platform SDK and SmartIXF SDK:
- SMARTEAM i-Platform SDK Enables the integration of SMARTEAM with UNIX environment applications. The SMARTEAM API can be accessed via a web interface, from any platform. Tools that integrate robust revision management, design collaboration, change management, advanced search and retrieval and more, can be integrated into any proprietary system, enterprise application or external system residing within the extended enterprise or across the supply chain.
- SmartIXF SDK - Technology that enables two-way communication between different data management systems, by providing a standard mechanism for product information packaging and manipulation. Product information can then be transferred between any two systems or applications. At many companies, data islands often operate in isolation from one another for applications such as PDM, ERP, and BOM. Because of this lack of integration, data is often exchanged manually in a time-consuming and error-prone process. Different PDM systems within the same company or supply chain fail to effectively talk to one another. SmartIXF SDK provides simple tools for sharing product data between any different systems within the organization and across the supply chain.
Product Key Customers Benefits
SMARTEAM - Development Suite helps organizations to meet their special needs, and achieve their PLM customization and development goals easily and rapidly. SMARTEAM - Development Suite enables organizations to capitalize on SMARTEAMs proven expertise and leverage its collaborative PLM capabilities into any system, on any platform, anywhere, enabling them to streamline business processes across the organization, leverage existing investments in use within their systems, and enhance all applications in use with best-of-breed collaborative PLM capabilities.
Use PDM capabilities and data from any system
The i-Platform SDK component of the SMARTEAM - Development Suite unveils the capability to integrate robust revision management, design collaboration capabilities, change management, advanced search and retrieval capabilities and more, into any proprietary system, enterprise application or external system residing within the extended enterprise or across the supply chain.
SMARTEAMs unequaled open infrastructure and architecture, coupled with i-Platform SDK enables businesses to remotely take advantage of the SMARTEAM API, and easily develop unique cross-platform solutions over the web, including rich web application integrations, server-to-server integrations, and local or remote desktop application integration solutions.
Cohesive data sharing among any systems
The SmartIXF component of the SMARTEAM - Development Suite provides a mechanism for transferring product data between different systems within the enterprise or supply chain. SmartIXF can be used with to package product data and transfer it in a standard manner to any system. Based on the Information eXchange Format (iXF) SmartIXF can run independently of SMARTEAM or any other data management system and provide a common mechanism for data sharing.
iXF is a standard which gives true and tried ways of dealing with product data. iXF can provide out of the box functionality like BOM, configuration, and document management features such as version control and file compression. iXF provides these functionalities in a very efficient manner. Therefore, organizations can immediately interoperate with other companies.
- The SmartIXF SDK is a high performance, robust, and versatile implementation of the iXF Specification. SmartIXF SDK enables easy creation, manipulation and processing of product data. Using SmartIXF SDK, data islands can turn into a cohesive knowledge base.
