d2m3: SharePoint Connector

Unique in the technical marketplace, d2m3 offers "exceptional" data, product, and process life-cycle management solutions.

With over 10 years experience in electronic management solutions focused in technical markets, d2m3's team of specialists provides a unique asset for companies looking to get the best return from their investment. This is achieved by a short implementation phase, plus license costs that are approximately 50 percent lower than so-called comparative products. d2m3 solutions and services represent an opportunity to radically augment the personal productivity of everyone across the organization. Every day is an opportunity lost in gaining competitive advantage and increased profitability. d2m3 serves the needs of a wide diversity of world-class companies and SMEs alike.

The SharePoint connector automates the publishing of drawings and documents plus their associated meta-data to a SharePoint Portal Server. More and more organizations are implementing the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for the collaboration and content management features it provides. However, the need for Work In Progress document management does not diminish. 2D and 3D CAD files in particular require a more CAD-centric approach to file management with the final completed drawing being published to organization portals such as SharePoint. The d2m3 SharePoint connector bridges the gap between the Work In Progress document management as provided by SolidWorks Enterprise PDM and the collaboration facilities provided by SharePoint by automating the upload information to a SharePoint Document Library from a SolidWorks Enterprise PDM Vault.
