| Karlsfeld, Germany – August, 2004
– COMPASS systems, a leading software
company offering Product Data Management (PDM)
solutions for intelligent Engineering, today announced
that it has been awarded Certified Gold Product Status
by SolidWorks Corporation for its PDM-System COMPASS.
In order to achieve Certified Gold Product status,
COMPASS underwent a rigorous certification testing
process to ensure the highest levels of integration,
associativity, user interface compatibility, and
quality. With COMPASS, SolidWorks customers can
conveniently integrate their existing 2D information
with new 3D modeling mechanical design data, allowing
them greater design efficiency.
"This award signifies a superior technology
solution for SolidWorks customers," said Karl Weber,
CEO of COMPASS systems. "COMPASS is able to expand its
portfolio of product integrations and show its
commitment to a wide variety of CAD applications. For
customers wishing to adopt a SolidWorks solution and
invest in PDM, they can proceed with confidence."
Through this partnership, COMPASS and SolidWorks
have integrated the best of both worlds in PDM
technology and 3D mechanical design. As companies
upgrade their 2D software to 3D, PDM becomes critical
to properly manage an increasing amount of design
data. For customers presently using 2D software and
wanting to upgrade to SolidWorks, COMPASS provides a
powerful solution, supporting hybrid design
environments and integrating multiple platforms.
"We are excited to welcome COMPASS as the latest
Certified Gold Product for SolidWorks," said Brian
Houle, partner program manager for SolidWorks
Corporation. "PDM is of vital importance for our
customers to create an efficient, streamlined design
process, and COMPASS provides our customers with a
completely integrated, comprehensive solution to their
data management needs."
