Collaborative document review system at CASECorporation, New Holland (CNH)

The Business Challenge
As a manufacurer of a broadest range of equipment used on every farm and livestock operation around the world, CNH had a need to have strong visualization and markup software for its design teams. They already had eMatrix from MatrixOne installed and wanted a product that can be integrated with eMatrix.

With the global presence, CNH wanted a tool that can enable seamless communication across three continents, where the design and document review teams are located. This was an expensive need and they wanted a good return on investment.

Some of the challenges (business and technical) were:
bullet
Physically Dispersed
bullet

Support for Multiple environments

bullet
Integration with existing PLM System
bullet
Return on investment
bullet

Multi-Format viewer

bullet
Firewall friendly environment
bullet

Secured document viewing

bullet

Ease of Use

bullet
Extended eReview print functions to be used by all eMatrix users from anywhere
bullet
Installed eReview server with WebLogic 5.1 on Sun-Solaris platform and integrated with eMatrix Value Chain Portfolio applications (VCP)
bullet

Primary Business
Requirement:

Strong visualization and

required for design review procedure


BPOMS’ Solution:
eReview integrated with eMatrix
The Bottomline Advantage:
eReview is deployed in CNH environment as part of design review cycle. At present, there are 1.500 concurrent users and 1000 named users using eReview at CNH. CNH chose eReview to be the standard viewer as well for all the design viewing, marking up and reviewing needs. Below are some of the advantages that CNH has after having eReview as part of the standard viewing and collaboration procedures.
bullet
Deployed on multiple platforms: eReview is presently deployed on multiple platforms at CNH. This means that there were no changes made to the software and hardware environment while deploying eReview
bullet
Collaboration along with viewer, all in the same package: CNH does not need to get viewer and collaboration tools separately. eReview has all these features in one
bullet
Integrated with existing PLM system: eReview is tightly integrated with existing PLM (eMatrix from MatrixOne) in CNH environment. This is an out-of-the-box integration deployed at CNH
bullet
Ease of maintenance: Since, eReview is server side software; all the changes and updates are applied at only one place. The clients do not need to install anything so CNH does not have to worry about maintaining updates at the user end
bullet
Retain the originality of the documents-less cost on maintaining multiple copies and versions of the same documents as they are marked up: Since, the markup paradigm in eReview is document centric, the original design documents/models are retained in the original form. It is simple, easy to use and at the same time, the original documents are un-changed. This means less maintenance on keeping multiple copies/versions of documents even if the reviewers from all over the world make annotations and markups on them. This was an added advantage to CNH: all at no extra cost
bullet
Multiple Document Interface: CNH got the advantages of a true Multiple Document Interface (MDI) at no extra cost. This means that only one instance of eReview gets loaded in the browser even while viewing multiple kinds of documents/models
bullet
Print features were not only in-built in the viewing system, but also extended to the users of the existing Product Lifecycle management (PLM) system being used
