This webinar discusses best practices for working with CAD data in the cloud. It covers three main topics: working efficiently with CAD data by accessing only needed data and models; collaborating securely with suppliers; and reviewing and validating designs on mobile devices. Presenters from Dassault, Autodesk and PTC discuss their cloud solutions and how they address these topics through features such as lightweight visualization, on-demand access to CAD data, streamlined sharing and access for suppliers, and automated interference checking for mobile reviews. The webinar concludes with a Q&A session.

21. Dassault Systemes V6 Online
Andy Reilly

22. Why V6 Online is based on a collaborative platform not a PDM platform
Observations from the SMB Market:
• 80% of the SMB companies have no PDM/PLM product
• Customers will avoid implementation of a PDM tool until they absolutely have to
invest.
Why is that?
But
!

23. Scenario to show collaborative value
8 Companies, 6 countries, 4 languages and no physical meetings

24. Types of customer scenarios for V6 Online
