Your Technical Information, Quickly Easily. Wherever your product team members are located, Conisio provides all the product information, which is immediately accessible anywhere, and at any time, for anyone with appropriate access rights. No matter how your organisation categorises its data, irrespective of the volume of documents and drawings, and in whichever offi ce the users are based, they can quickly fi nd what they need. Whether you browse to fi nd the drawing, search by description of the document or drawing, or on the basis of document content, Conisio will instantly deliver what you require, to your desktop, wherever you are located. Furthermore, you have the confi dence that only the very latest revision is made available, eliminating the substantial costs that arise from working with out-of-date information.

Conisio supports direct access from the Internet or your company’s intranet.

3.	Collaborate	4.	Automate
	Easily. The challenge facing many organisations is to harness, support and augment the skills, experience and management capabilities of the internal teams in order to drive product development. Conisio reflects the importance of the latest, up-to-date information within a department as well as in the different enterprise functional groups. Throughout all the phases of product development, Conisio supports structured collaboration through the Process and Document workflow utility. Built-in messaging and notification functions drive teamwork and eliminate communication barriers. Data is shared under predefined rules that are set up by access rights, both by object type and workflow state. A publishing framework option assists in speeding up data distribution throughout the enterprise and supply chain. Documents and CAD files can be automatically converted by the document creator prior to submission to the publishing server; for example DXF, DWG or PDF files. The Internet is both an extraordinary opportunity and a significant threat. Every organisation is subject to pressure from competitors old or new, wherever they are based in the world. The trend for outsourcing and off-shoring is accelerating each day, so that the best and most appropriate resources are deployed, either on a project by project basis or as an integrated part of the business. Conisio provides a scalable management platform for everyone, everywhere, in order to facilitate effective collaboration.		Create - Review - Change, Process Cycles. Once initial design concepts are established, managing change involving review, approval and distribution processes becomes a key challenge, every day. Conisio makes creation, review and approval cycles as simple as sending e-mail. Instead of distributing paper and forms left on a manager’s desk, key changes are electronically routed to all decision-makers for prompt resolution. At every step you can monitor progress and alert contributors to approaching deadlines. Process and routing definitions are easy to set up and configure, ensuring fast implementation. Automated process nodes such as PDF publishing or data exchange with ERP or MRP systems are also available. Upon approval, key information about entire product development projects or product enhancements can be electronically delivered in seconds to everyone affected by the revised information, wherever they are located. Driving through changes, automating critical cycles, streamlining operations from design to manufacture, not only increases overall effectiveness, but more significantly reduces time to market. These benefits are enjoyed by Conisio clients across four continents.

5.	Control	6.	Audit
	And Manage Changes to Improve Overall Effi ciency and Reduce Time to Market. As change orders arise, are reviewed and implemented, Conisio provides the essential support system to maintain control of the entire process. Unauthorised changes are eliminated and access rights granted to individuals based on their role in your team, delivered through a powerful yet fl exible security model. Every single revision and minor change is tracked as a separate entity. All contributors’ comments and redlines associated with each relevant 3D Model assembly, drawing or document version can be instantly recalled and displayed to relate to the original version. Co-ordinating changes to critical technical information becomes an easy yet robust process, with control re-established the way it should be. Now everyone can work productively in an integrated, synchronised manner.		Your Activities – Drive Quality Compliance. Throughout the lifecycle of your technical data, Conisio tracks and records every event, each workfl ow, and every version that impacts the data set. The audit tools record who did what and when, and how and why each change was made. Accessible from most popular report-writing tools, the audit features assist in the preparation of quality compliance reports, dictated by either the enterprise itself or those demanded by regulatory agencies, ISO auditors, or project-specifi c performance criteria. Whilst demonstrating compliance becomes a breeze, the key benefi t is that review of the audit trails can help identify potential problems and drive continual process improvement to increase your overall competitiveness.
