Rocket TRUfusion Enterprise CIM Database Integration

Combine automated file transfer functionalities of Rocket TRUfusion Enterprise with CONTACT Software GmbH’s CIM DATABASE PDM/PLM solution to:

  • Automate and streamline your product design data exchange processes
  • Connect these two enterprise systems and use only one user interface
  • Integrate automated product data exchange with CIM DATABASE workflows
  • Review and report CIM DATABASE data exchange transactions
  • Increase user productivity by avoiding manual steps when sending product design data to customers and suppliers
  • Realize automated data exchange within CIM DATABASE

The integration of Rocket TRUfusion Enterprise within CIM Database combines the benefits of these two powerful solutions to automate, control and manage the distribution of product design data and related documents, both internally and externally with customers, suppliers and other partners.

Contact Software GmbH’s CIM DATABASE PDM/PLM

Rocket Software has partnered with Contact Software to create this solution. Many companies invest in CIM DATABASE to support both product data management (PDM) and product lifecycle management (PLM) activities from portfolio planning and the concept phase through to synchronization and logistics processes.

Rocket TRUfusion Enterprise

CIM DATABASE has a user interface that enables product design data to be exchanged via TRUfusion Enterprise. TRUfusion Enterprise automates the importing, exporting, transformation, encryption and transportation of sensitive product design data globally with all business partners.

TRUfusion Enterprise also manages all back-end data transformations and transfers while automatically storing critical information regarding all data exchange activities.

Often 80% less time is needed to perform these tasks with an automated process when compared to manual methods, improving employee productivity and speeding up the decision making processes through the extended enterprise.

Improve, simplify and automate design collaboration processes

Rocket TRUfusion Enterprise provides insight into all managed file transfer transactions. The integration of TRUfusion Enterprise and CIM DATABASE enables users to exchange product design data from directly within the CIM DATABASE environment. Users never need to leave the familiar CIM DATABASE user interface to perform otherwise manual operations with additional software. Exchanging parts, assemblies, drawings and other related documents that the user has permission to access is easily performed within CIM DATABASE. These operations can be accessed directly from the CIM DATABASE Client user interface meaning there's no additional software to learn.

Product structures can be reviewed before they are exported or imported with options for defining partner specific rules.

Rocket TRUfusion Enterprise works in batch mode, in the background to guarantee reliable and automated execution of necessary steps to deliver the right operations at the right time, eliminating mistakes.

The integration of CIM DATABASE and TRUfusion Enterprise leverages bi-directional data exchange that reduces time and simplifies the entire data exchange process with the assurance that all transactions are recorded for audit trail and compliance requirements.
