ProjectIC is the first collaboration platform for managing design data, tracking project activity and delivering project IP to remote design sites. Libraries can be maintained globally and component IP usage tracked across the enterprise giving better visibility on how your corporate IP is being leveraged. Communications between IP owners and consumers are formalized for easy defect tracking and project management.
Project Workspace Creation/Management and Replication Server
• Uses a project Bill of Materials (BOM) for workspace creation, enabling consistent repeatable work areas for all users
• Project data can be sourced from multiple repositories with different DM systems (Perforce, Subversion, ClearCase, Design Sync supported today)
• Workspace updates allow for selected block-based updates
• Client tool allows for BOM comparisons, BOM derivation from the current workspace state and other sophisticated workspace management
• Uses the ProjectIC Replication Server for managing shared work-spaces at remote sites
• Substantially improved delivery speed for read only blocks
• Reduced disk requirements (anywhere from 10 to 100x depending on number of blocks, workspaces and users)
• Reduced network traffic to DM servers
ProjectIC with Replication Server, Project Collaboration Portal and IP Catalog
With the addition of the ProjectIC Collaboration Portal, ProjectIC communicates with the Replication server to centralize block fetching and an IP/Project Catalog to read BOMs and track usage.
• BOMs are stored in a central catalog and available across the enterprise
• Complete Catalog of all IP, BOMs and Projects
• Comprehensive data collection capabilities including:
– All IP usage by project, user, BOM and site
– All Project activity
– Replication Server activity including performance statistics
• Centralized permission management for both Unix workspaces and DM repositories
• Sophisticated IP Cataloging
– IP creation and documentation
– Project and BOM creation/management
• Designers Collaboration Portal
–Wiki's, tasks, discussion forums, blogs, notifications and more Hierarchical permissions and access management
