Smarteam Corporation, a leading provider of innovative
Product Lifecycle Collaboration solutions today announced
the release of Smarteam’s Smart Multi-site, providing
asynchronous replication capabilities for global enterprises
working in distributed environments.
Globalization and the heightened pace of mergers and acquisitions
have left many companies struggling to integrate and synchronize
product development and manufacturing activities across
diverse business units in different cities, countries
and continents. Leveraging the innovation and product
development activities is critical, aggregating and synchronizing
the results is challenging. Fast computer systems, and
fast networks, alone cannot produce instant data sharing
and collaboration capabilities. Network bandwidth is challenged
to keep up with growing volumes of data transfer and network
availability becomes tantamount. Smart Multi-site allows
enterprises utilizing SmarTeamׂ to overcome these challenges
by replicating each location’s data and meta-data to all
other sites, providing measurable results in performance
and profitability.
