Stuttgart, March 12, 2015 - IT specialist CENIT will focus its HMI 2015 presentation (Hall 7, Booth C37) on two main topics: The latest version of the cenitSPIN software, which makes CENIT PLM practicable and affordable for small business, and solutions for virtualization of CAx applications, which CENIT will showcase based on live demos associated with the private cloud and the latest release of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform "in the cloud".

Introducing an enterprise to PLM is a complicated process. Particularly for small and medium businesses, it's a step that presents a wealth of challenges: Aside from the costs involved in introducing and operating traditional PLM systems, SMEs often find that the large PLM systems available on the market don't really address their specific needs. CENIT will use the HANNOVER MESSE as an occa-sion to present its software solution cenitSPIN, an approach that facilitates PLM introduction especially for small and medium enterprises.

cenitSPIN: PLM Acceptance and Application for SMEs

More specifically, cenitSPIN features pre-configured best practice solutions for the most important PLM topics, which here have been integrated efficiently and at a lower level of complexity. The standard configuration already contains nu-merous definitions for SME-relevant object types including attributes, status, lifecycle rules, workflows, templates, etc. cenitSPIN's standardized approach minimizes introduction and operating costs. The CENIT product also features an agile introduction concept that invites users on board right from the beginning. The result: A customized, highly operative system configuration and efficient workflows - without complex systems adaptations or follow-on programming.

With the aid of the standard-feature Configuration Engine, individual configura-tions can be implemented in just a few minutes, as required and at any point in time. There's no need for complicated scripting and programming, which radi-cally reduces the time needed to configure the desired system changes.

In essence, the cenitSPIN PLM Desktop is based on the established 3DEXPERIENCE Platform by Dassault Systèmes. In addition to flexibility and high ease of use, it offers businesses a solution that can grow in step with re-quirements. A further benefit of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform foundation is that it allows the user to manage various CAD systems such as CATIA V5, V6, SolidWorks and NX.

CENIT will hold a series of live demos at the HMI to provide a detailed overview of the potentials and features of the software.

CAx Virtualization in the Private Cloud

In its second topical focus at the HMI, CENIT will demonstrate the opportunities and efficiency benefits that enterprises can gain from virtualization. The virtual-ization concept as presented by CENIT accords special significance to matters of security. The bottom line: Sensitive business data stays protected within the home network, while virtualization can be exploited to achieve synergy effects such as increased efficiency of use, lower network load and client-independent availability of the application. Thus the presentation will focus on solutions as-sociated with the private cloud.

At CENIT's expo booth, our partner company encad consulting will showcase virtual provisioning of 3D graphics using HDX technology by Citrix. Live demos will offer visitors a first-hand impression of the performance levels of the solu-tions and indicate concrete fields of application and results.

3DEXPERIENCE in the Cloud

3DEXPERIENCE in the Cloud: An approach that unites the cloud concept with the top performance capabilities of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform by Dassault Systèmes. As partner of Dassault Systèmes, CENIT will use the HANNOVER MESSE as an opportunity to present 3DEXPERIENCE Release R2015x "in the cloud". This requires a departure from the private cloud, because the data is stored on an external server beyond the company's own network. Benefits for business accrue particularly from increased operational efficiency, because access to data and collaboration are possible even without logging on to the company network. There is no need to install own servers, meaning that the company profits from reduced hardware and administration costs - without having to compromise in terms of data security.

CENIT's experts will demonstrate these and other benefits of the solution in live events at the HMI, along with concrete use cases.

CENIT will be represented at the Hannover Messe in Hall 7 at Booth C 37. We invite all expo visitors to join with us in discussion and exchange.
