Deep Server Enterprise Edition
Introduction
Today, manufacturing companies are faced with several challenges that are causing them to revisit the way they bring products to market. Products are becoming more complex, designs are short-lived, competition is global, costs are under scrutiny and margins are thin. The influx of 3D design in Engineering has improved design process and efficiency, but the design assets they build are not being effectively utilized in the downstream processes required to deliver products. To meet today's challenges, leading manufacturing companies are looking for ways to leverage these design assets through their existing IT infrastructure. Optimizing product lifecycle processes through the adoption of a more Visual Manufacturing environment.
Existing methods of delivering product-related information, document and graphic media are not keeping pace with the demands for rapid innovation and global collaboration requirements. Decisions need to be made faster, across a wider range of departments and geographic locations and delivered through multiple and concurrent mediums, like the web, business applications, secure document management portals and mobile devices. The challenge facing businesses in many sectors is how to optimize delivery processes without radically altering the daily work and leveraging existing investments in CAD and ERP systems to optimize mission critical business processes such as sourcing, manufacturing, marketing and customer support. Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Engineering Product Data Management (PDM) solutions have helped to improve dataflow and efficiency in engineering. But the need to communicate to a much wider and larger audience remains.
A solution that is easy to use and access is required; one that hides the complexity of data integration and publishing from the user. Data must be integrated from multiple systems and delivered in optimum packages for collaboration, communication and decision making.

Deep Server allows companies to source product data from existing CAD and PDM systems, supply product graphics to leading ECM, DCC and DEP applications. |
Already recognized as the visual communication, collaboration and publishing standard for many of the world’s top manufacturers. Deep Server Enterprise Edition integrates disparate product data readily available in corporate CAD, PLM and ERP systems and then automatically delivers this intelligent product information into commonly used business documents, file formats and directly into business applications for secure downstream use anytime, anywhere.
Deep Server Enterprise Edition helps companies:
- Make the most of their design assets
- Leverage their existing IT infrastructure investment
- Optimize their product lifecycle
All accomplished through these advanced solution capabilities:
Generation of Derivative Product Graphics On-Demand. Deep Server automatically generates and securely stores the correct versions of the 2D and 3D product graphics you need to communicate your products, in the format needed, on demand to embed in the applications you choose.
Process Automation to Replace Manual Workflows. Unlike today's time and labor intensive manual 2D and 3D document authoring processes, Deep Server automates these processes to deliver a range of intermediate graphics, finished graphics, and even finished documents all from accurate, up-to-date engineering models.
Version Controlled Updates of Visual Product Content. As your products and configurations evolve, Deep Server automatically updates impacted product graphics across sourcing, sales and service without having to track down and manually change every downstream usage.
