SORTING DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY.(Otis Elevator Co. to use software from Structural Dynamics Research Corp.)(Brief Article)
Mechanical Engineering-CIME, December, 2000 by Thilmany, Jean
When Otis Elevator Co. of Farmington, Conn., found that its supplier of product-tracking software had been purchased by another company, executives didn't fret.
Instead, they announced that they would upgrade their product knowledge management software, the technology used to manage information and documents related to the product development process, and would be using software from Structural Dynamics Research Corp. of Milford, Ohio. SDRC had purchased Otis' former software provider, Sherpa Systems of Milpitas, Calif.
Otis is a manufacturer and installer of elevators, escalators, and moving walkway systems. The company will use the SDRC software to store and sort documents, designs, and engineering changes. Otis will also use it to access and share CAD data.
