One study showed that up to 20% of an engineer’s day can be wasted looking for and opening files. It is a simple fact that for every CAD model that needs to be managed there are multiple documents. Mismanagement of documents, spreadsheets, and process diagrams is critical to maintaining a digital thread. Documents need versioning, security control, and most importantly the context and interdependencies needs to be managed.
Effective document management relies on simplicity. Aras continues to release enhancements to the Aras Office Connector, making it easier than ever to work effortlessly inside the tools users rely on. Innovator makes document management easy eliminating the need to changing environments to find files, templates, or check them in for collaboration.
