Leverage the STEP Foundation

Support BO XML as an additional implementation method

Adhere to the Recommended Practices (Release 1.0.94) to an extent data is not compromised

Configurable and Extensible solution to facilitate effective product data exchange

In complex exchange scenarios where additional data coverage is desired, intervention in the converter is expected

Active participation in PDM IF as a vendor to stay current with the recommended practices and adopt those in the solution, at times influence the practices as well.
