TranscenData Takes Product Data Interoperability to New Level.Business Editors & Technology Writers MILFORD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 2001 International TechneGroup Incorporated (ITI (Information Technology Industry Council, Washington, DC, www.itic.org) Formerly the Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturers Association (CBEMA), founded in 1916. ITI is a membership organization composed of approximately 30 large high-tech companies. ) announces the formation of TranscenData(TM) from the company's Product Data Interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. (PDI PDI Protein Disulfide Isomerase PDI Personal Docente e Investigador (Spanish: Personal Educational and Investigating) PDI Pre Delivery Inspection PDI Professional Development Institute ) business. TranscenData will focus on providing global interoperability solutions across three distinct product and service lines: Engineering Supply Chain Integration, CAD, CAM, CAE (1) (Computer-Aided Engineering) Software that analyzes designs which have been created in the computer or that have been created elsewhere and entered into the computer. Systems Integration, and Product Data Management Systems Integration. TranscenData will operate as an ITI business bringing to bear the product development and manufacturing process consulting expertise of ITI. "ITI's Product Data Interoperability business has a long heritage of pioneering solutions for CAD model quality, CAD model repair and healing, customer/supplier integration, native CAD API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. access, and more," said Bruce Jenkins, Executive Vice President of Daratech, Inc. (Cambridge, MA). "This new focus will help customers get the most from its expertise and capabilities in transcending interoperability issues throughout the extended enterprise and its supply chain." "Since 1985 we have concentrated on pioneering and developing software tools and related services to help users overcome interoperability obstacles. That path has proven to be very successful, enabling ITI to emerge as the recognized leader in the field," explained Don Hemmelgarn, President of ITI's TranscenData business. "But software tools alone are no longer sufficient. TranscenData leverages our breadth of CAD, CAM, PDM (1) (Product Data Management) An information system used to manage the data for a product as it passes from engineering to manufacturing. The data includes plans, geometric models, CAD drawings, images, NC programs as well as all related project data, notes and , ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. expertise with best-in-class software tools such that we can deliver effective implementation solutions and fast payback Payback The length of time it takes to recover the initial cost of a project, without regard to the time value of money. for our customers. We are elevating product data interoperability to a new level by forming strategic partnerships with customers to solve their specific product data interoperability needs on an ongoing basis." TranscenData TranscenData offers solutions in three distinct realms of product data interoperability:
Engineering Supply Chain Integration
Enabling the automation, tracking, and management of the
process of sharing product data between OEMs and their
suppliers, partners, and customers.
CAD/CAM/CAE (C3) Systems Integration
Enables effective exchange and sharing of CAD, CAM, CAE model
data among upstream and downstream users.
Product Data Management Systems Integration
Enabling collaborative product commerce via the integration of
enterprise applications with engineering PDM.
About TranscenData ITI's TranscenData business provides interoperability solutions that enable companies to effectively exchange, reuse reuse - Using code developed for one application program in another application. Traditionally achieved using program libraries. Object-oriented programming offers reusability of code via its techniques of inheritance and genericity. , and share engineering product data among diverse software applications used throughout a manufacturing enterprise and its supply chain. TranscenData solutions are aimed directly at reducing and eliminating non-value-added time and costs associated with reusing product data. TranscenData solutions are distributed worldwide through a combination of direct sales, resellers, and strategic vendor/OEM partners. www.transcendata.com TranscenData is a trademark of International TechneGroup Incorporated.
