Business & High-Tech Editors

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 5, 2001

3Ga Corporation, a new contender in the collaborative commerce marketplace, is proud to join the Solid Edge Voyager Program.

As a Voyager member, 3Ga offers the ability to integrate parts and assemblies created by Solid Edge v8 and higher into 3G.web.decisions(TM), a revolutionary engineering decisions system.

3Ga Corporation offers product engineering intelligence. Accelerate your product decision making process by connecting your organization with the engineering data and knowledge base they need to make intelligent design changes.

Now your project teams -- design, engineering, manufacturing and suppliers -- can collaborate and instantaneously validate design decisions. 3G.web.decisions provides your organization with a revolutionary system that enables product innovations and in-process production changes. From a common URL, any member of your product design team can simulate the impact of parametric engineering changes on the fit, form and functional behavior of the design. By simply moving a slider bar, you and your project teams can scroll through hundreds of design alternatives in real time. Users can collectively determine which configuration is the most cost effective, highest quality and easiest to produce.

"In today's collaborative development environments, companies must provide solutions to help their development teams manage the time spent making critical design decisions." Said Dr. Yuri Kizimovich, President/CEO and founder of 3Ga Corporation. "Our partnership with Solid Edge enables companies to automate the generation of decision support data and publish this information so that any member of the development team can compare and contrast design alternatives. 3G.web.decisions' unique web-architecture shows dramatic reductions in the iterative decision-making process that exists today."

"We are excited about the addition of 3Ga's engineering decision system to the Voyager Program," says Bill McClure, director of the Solid Edge line of business at Unigraphics Solutions. "3G.web.decisions presents a tremendous opportunity for our resellers and customers to extend the value that Solid Edge brings to their organization. By using Solid Edge data as the master model for collaborative engineering, our customers can use their original design intent to facilitate better communication between functional groups and publish data required for making more informed decisions."

3Ga Corporation will introduce 3G.web.decisions at a press conference at 12:00 noon on March 6th, 2001 in room S 502B at the National Design and Engineering Show held at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, March 5-8, 2001. They can also be contacted in their partners' booths, Solid Edge (Unigraphics Solutions) and SolidWorks, as well as in their own booth No. 8563.
