AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING ENTERPRISE CAD ACCESS ACTIFY UNLOCK OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES AND BUSINESS SUCCESS While CAD tools themselves have come a long way in the past 30 years, most people think CAD files are exclusively for their company’s engineering and design departments. However, the business value of using CAD beyond the design team is incredible. Many departments across the organization need access to valuable information contained within CAD files. Historically, it has been too expensive to provide CAD tools to non-engineers and in some cases the ROI for engineers who aren’t using CAD on a daily basis is questionable. With Actify’s Enterprise CAD offering, this is no longer an obstacle and giving your entire organization access to CAD data has become very affordable. You no longer need to ration your CAD access, everyone in your company should have access to affordable CAD tools to gather information needed to support their daily tasks. SpinFire Ultimate is an industry-leading application and Actify’s flagship CAD viewer. It’s a powerful desktop application with multi-CAD support for 3D and 2D viewing, measuring, mark-up and other investigative functions. SpinFire is able to convert CAD data into a compact and neutral format for sharing with internal and external teams. Even if you are locked into using another CAD system as your primary CAD authoring platform, you can still take full advantage of Actify’s neutral enterprise CAD package to support communication and collaboration. Actify provides a set of business solutions designed to support the creation, management, dissemination and collaborative use of product data (i.e. product definition information including BOM structures, CAD files, specifications, requirements, manufacturing instructions, etc.).
