SofTech has extensive experience implementing ProductCenter throughout product development groups. SofTech has had the opportunity to work on several projects that extend the use of the ProductCenter “Bill of Information” (BOI) out through Field Service. This presentation will demonstrate how ProductCenter can address requirements that are critical to working with your extended enterprise.
By leveraging the “field service view” of the ProductCenter BOI, your maintenance and customer support personnel can package any and all technical documents related to service orders including packing lists, Bills of Materials, service contracts and drawings used for maintaining products. Field service reports and maintenance documents can also be brought into ProductCenter, thereby allowing managers and engineers to obtain information on products and make critical decisions to address product development issues sooner in the process.
Topics Include:
- Repair Order Management Example
- Easy Data extraction for offline field service personnel
- Watermarking critical documents required in the field
- Automatic addition and linking of critical field service information
- Field service BOI Reporting
Addressing Compliance Requirements with ProductCenter

The need to support the evolving regulatory compliance requirements and standards in order to sell your products becomes more costly and time consuming every day, often leaving Management to wonder “Are we managing our compliance requirements or are they managing us”.
Compliance for standards such as International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) not only require documenting your processes, but also adhering to those processes each and every time.
SofTech would like to extend an invitation to view our playback of ProductCenter® solution webinar recorded on Wednesday, May 25th 2011. It was presented by Bill Gilchrist, ProductCenter Senior Implementation Services Consultant. This webinar highlights the use of ProductCenter to support compliancy, by automating controls and utilizing audit trails to prevent potential costly delays and penalties.
Topics include:
- Controls and audit trails for compliance through process automation
- Watermarking / stamping using an ITAR compliance example
- Data classification, permission control to achieve compliance in a global organization
- Customer example leveraging ProductCenter for ITAR compliance

SofTech would like to extend an invitation to our ProductCenter® solution webinar recorded on Wednesday, March 30th at 1:00 PM EDT presented by Bill Gilchrist, ProductCenter Senior Implementation Services Consultant. This webinar highlights the management of the Engineering Bill of Materials (eBOM) to improve the manufacturing of your products by providing the tools necessary to create, manage and interface the eBOM to downstream applications such as ERP, MRP and SCM systems.
During this webinar, SofTech will present how ProductCenter can improve your ability to manage the Engineering Assembly or Drawing BOM. Early exposure to this critical product information that is created and defined in your MCAD / ECAD applications provides the ability to introduce the BOM to all members of your product development organization and integrate the BOM into your “Bill of Information” (BOI) as the complete product definition.
Topics Include:
- Types of cost benefits realized by BOM management
- Generating the BOM for CAD Drawings and Assemblies
- Engineering BOM (search BOM Items – duplicate items)
- Communication with ERP Systems (eliminate errors in entering data & loading Item Masters)
- Low cost of ERP Interface / Integrations
- Creation of other BOM Types
- Integrated in Change Process
- Benefits of managing the BOM in ProductCenter
- BOM Comparing and Reporting
- Exposure to Product Development
- Improved Release to Manufacturing Process
- Early exposure to what is being changed in Engineering and long lead items
- How to overcome challenges of implementing a BOM management solution
