SmarTeam Debuts mySmartMeeting To Provide
Secure, Real-Time Conferencing and Collaboration Over the
Internet
BEVERLY, Mass., April 3 Furthering its strategy to deliver
affordable e-collaborative product development capabilities to its
manufacturing customers and their supply chains, Smart Solutions, a Dassault
Systemes company and its Americas subsidiary, SmarTeam Inc., a
leading provider of rapidly-implemented business collaboration solutions for
small-to-medium-sized manufacturing organizations, today announced
mySmartMeeting. The new powerful, Web-based collaboration tool will enable
SmarTeam customers and their supply chains to collaborate on product
development through a secure, online meeting space where parties can view,
annotate and comment in real-time on drawings, Bills of Material (BOMs),
presentations, engineering change orders and other critical business
information.
Today's news follows SmarTeam's recent announcement on its partnership
with WebEx and plans for integrating the WebEx interactive platform into its
collaborative product commerce (CPC) solutions. mySmartMeeting is SmarTeam's
first CPC offering to utilize WebEx as the underlying enabling technology to
deliver this advanced level of collaboration capability to manufacturers.
_Our customers today are severely challenged by having colleagues, design
engineers and supply chains scattered across geographies and time zones and,
as a result, access to secure, accurate and current information is paramount,_
said Avichay Nissenbaum, vice president of product development for Smart
Solutions. _By simulating face-to-face meetings, mySmartMeeting will give the
global enterprise instant connection and become an essential extension of day-
to-day interaction, generating instant efficiency and reduced travel costs._
