Adobe® Design Collaboration Solution at a Glance

Efficient collaboration across the extended design community - including suppliers and other partners - is critical to the pace of innovation. Yet, manufacturers' product development chains are routinely riddled with communication gaps caused by the complexity of collaboration around native design files. To ensure timely and efficient communication, manufacturers require solutions that simplify the exchange of vital product information - from initial design to development of technical manufacturing specifications through procurement, production, and delivery without losing the richness of 3D.

Right Hemisphere's Adobe Design Collaboration Solution accelerates time to market for new products, reduces product development costs, and improves product quality.

Right Hemisphere's Adobe Design Collaboration Solution blends Right Hemisphere and Adobe products, industry best practices, and consulting services so you can:

• Integrate leading CAD/PDM applications and the Adobe Intelligent Document Platform
• Collaborate across extended enterprise via intelligent PDF documents
• Secure and control intellectual property

Integrate leading CAD/PDM and the Adobe Intelligent Document Platform to accelerate time to market

The goal of product design is to create great products quickly. Effective collaboration based on accurate, up to date, product design information is the key.

How can you effectively collaborate when critical design data sits within a proprietary CAD/PDM system, unavailable to the extended design team? Further, since PDF documents have become the standard for collaboration, both inside and outside the firewall, how can you integrate 3D designs with PDF documents?

Right Hemisphere Solution Adobe Design Collaboration lets you collaborate more effectively as you design your products. You can quickly transform the CAD models your engineers are using to design your products into the high impact 2D and 3D graphics required in your PDF collaboration documents.

Key capabilities include:

• Leverage existing CAD models to quickly create realistic 2D and 3D product graphics
• Integrate product graphics into PDF documents automatically using PDF templates or manually
• Continuously update documents as designs change

Using Right Hemisphere's Adobe Design Collaboration Solution, you can easily create and import 3D graphics directly into Adobe PDF documents that integrate 3D graphics and text.

Collaborate across extended enterprise via intelligent PDF documents

In today's 7/24, global business model, work is done round the clock, round the world and in processes that continuously adapt and improve. Working together effectively in this mode requires a flexible, yet efficient approach.

Right Hemisphere's Adobe Design Collaboration Solution lets you collaborate flexibly and efficiently. Adobe Workflow Server guides collaboration processes from start to finish. Adobe Policy Server controls who sees what. And Adobe Forms and Forms Server let you structure documents and fields for optimal effectiveness. At each step in the process, you can easily review, markup and approve documents using Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat.

Key capabilities include:

• Share, review, markup, and approve documents
• Manage collaboration processes via dynamic forms and workflow
• Manage product design, technical publications, marketing communications, training and other product documents internally and with suppliers, partners and other members of the extended design team

Secure and control intellectual property

Best-in-class suppliers are used at every stage or a manufacturer's value chain. But a supplier today may become a competitor tomorrow. How can you provide critical design data your suppliers need, yet secure your intellectual property?

Right Hemisphere's Adobe Design Collaboration Solution lets you secure and control your intellectual property. With Right Hemisphere, your design files remain safe inside your CAD vaults. Deep Server and/or Deep Exploration transform native CAD files into lightweight product graphic derivatives in an industry standard U3D format.

These derivatives are then embedded in PDF documents. With Adobe Policy Server, you can securely share information inside and outside the firewall with a detailed audit trail Adobe Document Security adds digital signature and encryption capabilities.

Key capabilities include:

• Manage information based on policies
• Secure via authenticity, encryption, and digital signatures
• Enable digital rights management

Using Right Hemisphere's Adobe Design Collaboration Solution, you can provide CAD derivatives rather than your actual CAD files so you can protect your intellectual property.
