“We used ENGINEERING.com on a large mechanical machine design and construction project with a very short timeline. The extended team spanned multiple suppliers, contractors, and consultants all separated by hundreds of miles. We gave everyone access to the latest drawings, calculations and other vital documents on ENGINEERING.com so that time wasn’t wasted verifying that the most up-to-date revision was being used for construction. The team members also had access to an online Gantt chart so that they could be accountable to the project timeline. In a nutshell, we saved time and avoided costly errors. We will definitely be using ENGINEERING.com on our future projects.”

“Engineering.com is a great tool to help us execute our projects. Our cross-functional teams can now be on the same page much more easily permitting less frequent and shorter meetings. Key to us is the roll-up from multiple projects into one easy to understand individual dashboard for each team member. The user interface is intuitive and our teams were up and running quickly. Other features we have fully employed are the revision history for unloaded project documents, and the report builder. Engineering.com is a huge value to Calphalon.”

"As a provider of outsourced engineering services, Collaboration Suite has taken my business to the next level. Instead of projects becoming jumbled up with multiple revisions, Collaboration Suite provides a method of tracking and organizing files so that a supplier or customer at any level can reference them. Having design reviews online saves enough travel time to pay for a month of service in one conference. My clients are willing to become much more involved with me because of the ease of communication."

"Creating and customizing Collaboration Suite Templates is easy. We’ve translated all of our company-wide processes into Collaboration Suite. Some of these processes include RFQ (Request for Quotations), SRA (Sample Requests), ECN (Engineering Change) and the whole APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) process. By doing this, we’ve made Collaboration Suite a single repository for all the Projects. Now team members and senior management alike have visibility and easy access to all the company projects and deadlines"

"We can do instant web-conferencing so that everyone can see what we are talking about. Since it's a hosted solution, we were up and running in minutes, not months. Just as important, we were able to bring our customers up on the system in about 10 minutes without any training."

”Imagine being a Release Engineer working for a Tier One Automotive Supplier and essentially staking your job on a decision you made to source from an off-shore supplier located “thousands” of miles away. In this scenario, you may be applauded by your peers for the cost and timing savings. But if you are unable to request, monitor, and manage progress you will increase the risk of failure to meet the program plan objectives and ultimately you would surely regret this decision.
Sequence Logistics Inc utilizes the Engineering.com collaboration product so that our Tier One Automotive clients now have access twenty-four (24) hours a day, every day, to review our project including: progress reports, digital illustrations proving the accuracy of the progress report, pending or open issues that could impact the work plan, communication of work instructions and finally, detailed design information. The easy accessing of this report information on the Engineering.com website encourages dialogue, ensures clarity and accuracy, and ultimately allows Sequence Logistics Inc to not only “convince” but also “prove” to our customers that there is no longer a risk in sourcing a project in an off-shore factory.”
"By using ENGINEERING.com's Collaboration Suite I was able to double my business in 2006, including winning contracts with automotive clients I wouldn't have won without the collaboration service."
"...my partners overseas in Shanghai China started using Collaboration Suite with very little training, and now use it to update project schedules and transfer secure documents back to me and my clients"

Aiolos is a leading designer and builder of automotive wind tunnels and test facilities for clients all over the world. We use ENGINEERING.com's Collaboration Suite to manage our project, tasks and documents for a turn-key climatic automotive emissions test facility project we are building in France. ENGINEERING.com has allowed our geographically distributed team to maintain effective communication between our engineering design team in North America, our on-site construction partner and our customer in France. We already owned a deployed PLM solution, but Collaboration Suite's ease of use and the ability to bring external participants into the project team quickly were the deciding factors leading us to go with ENGINEERING.com.
