Increase the Value of your SAP investment with AutoVue Vuelink for sap PLM
 In a context of fierce competition and globally distributed sites and project teams, organizations need to adopt effective solutions to enhance product development operations, foster collaboration, and drive innovation.
AutoVue VueLink for SAP PLM is a web-based solution which adds AutoVue's powerful and user-friendly viewing, markup, digital mockup and real-time collaboration capabilities, for hundreds of native document types, to SAP PLM solutions. Through its integration with SAP PLM, AutoVue provides an efficient, flexible and secure solution to communicate information, share ideas across the global enterprise, and achieve faster time to market.
ACCESS AND VIEW CRUCIAL INFORMATION, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
AutoVue VueLink for SAP PLM provides users with a single point of access to hundreds of document types stored in the SAP PLM for viewing, printing, markup and real-time collaboration.
AutoVue features built-in support for hundreds of document types. Moreover, AutoVue integrated with SAP PLM works directly with the mySAP PLM CAD integrations to provide visualization for any supported native CAD format including CATIA, Pro/E, NX, SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD, as well as EDA, Office and PDF documents. Users can create markups or annotations on all supported document types, including PDF documents, which are saved back in the SAP repository. Users do not require Acrobat Pro to be able to view and annotate PDF documents with AutoVue.
By providing viewing and markup capabilities for hundreds of document types, AutoVue eliminates the cost and complexity of maintaining multiple client-side viewers and server-side conversion systems. Users can easily and instantly access, view and review crucial information stored in the SAP PLM, generated from a variety of authoring applications, anytime and anywhere.
SET A HIGHER LEVEL OF SECURITY FOR YOUR DOCUMENTS
Unlike other viewing solutions AutoVue handles native document data. By doing so, AutoVue avoids time-consuming document conversions which may result in the creation of inaccurate and untrustworthy files. AutoVue ensures that document integrity is maintained in all circumstances, avoids the tedious task of managing additional sets of neutral files, and empowers teams to make more informed decisions based on the latest versions of original documents.
AutoVue’s unique streaming technology provides a high level of document security by ensuring that documents, with their proprietary data, are never transferred to the client machine for viewing or annotation. No document footprint is left on the client machine since users only have access to a rendering of a document for viewing and markup. The original document is never altered and all markups and annotations are directly saved into SAP PLM.
COLLABORATE MORE EFFECTIVELY WITHIN AND BEYOND YOUR ORGANIZATION
Efficiently accessing and reviewing the right information in real-time is a major issue for organizations which have taken a cross-departmental, cross-functional and cross-geographic approach to improving their product development, innovation and engineering processes.
AutoVue provides a rich set of markup entities that will help you communicate change requests, comments, observations, and instruction effectively. All markups and annotations are created as distinct overlays, on top of the original file, and saved directly into the SAP repository. Reviewers can then turn markup layers on and off as needed, selecting only those that they wish to view.
Using AutoVue’s real-time collaboration capabilities, teams, suppliers, customers and third-parties can access, review and markup any supported document type. Users can also collaborate and instantly exchange views and ideas regardless of the authoring applications used to create the file, all that is needed is a web-browser. Collaboration is improved and information and ideas can be communicated in an efficient and secure manner across the global enterprise.
ACHIEVE FASTER TIME TO MARKET
With its viewing, markup and real-time collaboration capabilities, AutoVue reduces the often time-consuming iterative design process, ultimately shortening time-to-market for globally distributed product development teams and external partners.
The integration of AutoVue with SAP PLM simplifies the design review process for 2D CAD drawings, 3D models and PCB schematics by supporting SAP’s complete data models, including document and product structures.
AutoVue’s complete digital mockup capabilities also help to detect interferences and potential problem areas at an early stage of the product development and to validate design integrity prior to implementation.
