What is the Collaborative Business Innovator?
The Collaborative Business Innovator is a role on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform that provides you with a set of apps allowing you to enhance your collaboration with your team and provides overall basic functionality of the platform. Keep in touch with your team through communities and conversations on 3DSwym. Build dashboards to provide a quick overview of all of your important information with 3DDashboard. Access secure cloud based storage and synchronize your local files with 3DDrive, and that’s the beginning of what this role covers. This role is the foundation of the entire platform and everyone that has access to the platform will utilize this role.
Who is the Collaborative Business Innovator For?
The Collaborative Business Innovator is for anyone and everyone utilizing 3DEXPERIENCE. It is the one role that everyone is required to have and provides the core functionality to using the platform. It brings key enterprise communication tools, data analytics, and dashboard capabilities to the table that will be used to tie the experience of all additional roles together. Like much of the functionality of 3DEXPERIENCE, the apps included in the Collaborative Business Innovator role are cloud-based. This means you can carry out your virtual collaboration online, regardless of device or location, as long as you have a compatible web-browser and stable internet connect.
Job Positions That Could Use Collaborative Business Innovator
Everyone that uses the platform. CAD Designers, CAD Drafters, Project Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Design Engineers, CAD Managers, Engineering Managers, Marketers, Sales, and more.
Key Apps Included with Collaborative Business Innovator
3DDashboard
3DDashboard allows you to build interactive dashboards to manage all your work in one place and streamline your process. Add other available apps as widgets to create data analytics dashboards, approval dashboards, communication and information dashboards, and more. The possibilities are endless! You can even add members to your dashboards so that you and your team all have access to the same data.
3DSwym
3DSwym is at the heart of communication and virtual collaboration on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Cut down on the bulk of your emails and stop missing vital information. With this app, you can build communities where members can create posts in a social media style format that is intuitive for all users to adapt to. This app also brings private conversations to the table allowing you to have private chats with your connections. If that wasn’t good enough, you can even carry out voice and video chats directly on the platform from 3DSwym!
3DPlay
3DPlay is a cloud-based file viewer application. This allows you to preview all your essential files directly on the platform. You can view files such as PDFs or image files such as JPG’s or PNG’s, but more importantly, it allows you to view your CAD files (2D and 3D) right in your browser. This removes the need for external programs such as eDrawings, providing users with an install-free, cloud-based CAD viewer. With over 50 accepted file types, it’s more than just a viewer. You can also take basic measurements, create markups, and take screenshots that will post directly to your 3DSwym communities or conversations. This greatly increases the collaboration capabilities with your team, allowing non-CAD users to easily view and provide feedback on the status of models.
3DDrive
3DDrive brings secure cloud storage functionality to everyone using 3DEXPERIENCE. There are some other storage solutions incorporated in other roles, but this allows everyone to store important project files directly on the cloud. You can even use it to synchronize files that you have stored to your hard drive to the cloud, providing you with greater data security and accessibility from different devices. It also behaves as a cloud-based file sharing, allowing you to share copies or share access to the original with others. Don’t worry about anyone making unwanted changes, because document history is tracked, allowing you to revert to previous versions if necessary. Each user is provided a default of 5GB of storage space and more can be added as needed.
3DSketch
3DSketch brings Innovation to the Collaborative Business Innovator role. This app allows you to create sketches of your concepts in a 3D environment and post them to your communities for your teammates to review. Every project needs to start somewhere, and napkin sketches are a thing of the past when you have access to 3DEXPERIENCE. It provides you with line smoothing, quick snapping, and even allows you to draw over pictures.
3DStory
Sometimes creating a lengthy post or email just doesn’t cut it when presenting project proposals, updates, reviews, etc. PowerPoint presentations can get the point across, but the presentations tend to be bland and not at all optimized for use with CAD data. 3DStory allows you to create engaging presentations that you can share with your team on your communities. It even allows you to put 3D models in your slides that users can interact with while viewing the presentation.
Additional Collaborative Business Innovator Apps
