Omnify Software , a provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software for mid-market electronic, medical, mechanical, and defense OEMs, and Cimmetry Systems , a vendor of visualization and collaboration solutions for the A/E/C, engineering, manufacturing and electronics markets, have formed a new OEM partnership in which Omnify Software has licensed Cimmetry’s AutoVue Visualization and Collaboration technology to be embedded in the Omnify PLM system.

An interface between the Omnify PLM system and Cimmetry’s AutoVue offers groups involved in the product development and manufacturing process a single location to view, markup, and collaborate on all documents related to the product record.

The Omnify Software PLM solution allows OEMs to manage their part, bill of materials, engineering change, and documentation information within a single location. The software also features a Web architecture that the company claims enables out-of-the-box, bi-directional integration with an organization’s engineering and enterprise systems, ensuring automatic entry and extraction of information.

AutoVue provides a single point of access and common user interface allowing users to view, markup, and collaborate in real-time on over 450 different formats including: 3D CAD parts and assemblies, 2D CAD drawings, PCB/IC layouts and schematics, raster, vector, hybrid and office documents. AutoVue is available as a desktop Windows application and as a thin-client, server based solution for Windows or Unix servers.
