CIDEON Software Delivers Free Collaborative Design Plug-In for AutoCAD® Integrated with SAP® StreamWork™

Erstellt von CIDEON Software GmbH & Co. KG am 01.12.2011

Görlitz – Dec. 1, 2011 – CIDEON Software announced today a new plug-in for collaborative design within AutoCAD software, one of the world’s leading 2D and 3D CAD design tools.

The plug-in integrates the SAP® StreamWork™ cloud-based collaborative decision-making application with AutoCAD, enabling a new culture of modern, efficient teamwork that brings together people, information and structured business tools for brainstorming, strategizing and problem solving, where people are creating design concepts, documentation and prototypes. The CIDEON plug-in is now available for free download from the Apps tab within AutoCAD Exchange.

Effective, lasting processes in design industries are critical when it comes to an organization’s business performance and results. Considerable market advantages can be gained when these processes are established and executed properly – especially in the early stages of design and creative brainstorming where quick, informed decision-making can be a significant success factor. While several departments are typically involved in these phases, internal collaboration can be infrequent due to a lack of communication processes and tools.

“We are excited about the opportunity to deliver on a collaborative design vision with our plug-in,” said Lenz Finster, CEO of CIDEON AG. “Based on our work with our customers we discovered that social media is changing the way engineers communicate and collaborate. Classic product lifecycle management (PLM) systems are frequently challenged with internal and external collaboration, early ideation and using social capabilities. SAP StreamWork, when used with AutoCAD, helps solve these challenges by giving organizations an overarching framework for collaboration plus the tools they need to make smart decisions and drive projects forward.”

SAP StreamWork, which brings social and collaborative capabilities to any solution, is now available for use within AutoCAD software to help teams discuss, decide and deliver results more efficiently. It offers friendly tools for structuring ideation and data, and tracks all conversations, documents, and decisions for future reference or re-use. CIDEON’s free plug-in for AutoCAD enables users to quickly acquire, integrate and leverage SAP StreamWork within AutoCAD.

“SAP’s vision is to enable social enterprises to drive real business results,” said Stephan Schindewolf, vice president, Solution Management for SAP StreamWork, SAP. “The CIDEON plug-in for AutoCAD is yet another example of how businesses can benefit from the use of social and collaborative capabilities embedded directly where they are working to streamline their work, ensure participation and learn from prior engagements.”

“From the beginning, AutoCAD has served as a flexible platform that allows our partners to create industry-specific solutions and add-ons to help customers design, document and collaborate with trusted DWG technology,“ said Amy Bunszel, vice president, AutoCAD products. “We’re excited to see CIDEON and SAP developing products for AutoCAD 2012.”


The download of CIDEON’s plug-in for SAP StreamWork from AutoCAD Exchange is free of charge and users can find it on the App tab, in the ‘Productivity Tools’ category, or by searching for the keyword ‘CIDEON’. After CAD engineers quickly download and set up CIDEON’s free plug-in, they are connected to SAP StreamWork directly within their AutoCAD2012 application and can immediately begin collaborating. The plug-in displays SAP StreamWork activities and displays all related feeds directly in AutoCAD. Users can also choose to open the SAP StreamWork application to create their own activities, invite team members, discuss projects, upload data and make better informed decisions.
