“With the release of their 2007 OneSpace Suite, CoCreate firmly establishes their non-history-based dynamic modeling-based approach to product design. Additionally, the OneSpace platform brings the concept of Lean to product development by enabling a more efficient and faster design process that eliminates waste through reuse and flexible design practices. In a business environment where product innovation, responsiveness, and speed to market are paramount, CoCreate's 2007 OneSpace represents a tool that enables companies to meet these requirements.”

John MacKrell

Senior Consultant, CIMdata

"Collaborative product development is best supported when vendors create open systems with their MCAD environments and enterprise applications, such as a PLM, ERP, or CRM. This is imperative when sharing design information in multi-CAD projects, as well as sharing of project data that is controlled in various enterprise systems. Solutions like OneSpace.net 2005 help teams work successfully across various design formats and across whatever locations project data may reside."

Ken Versprille, Ph.D.

"CoCreate's collaboration product, OneSpace.net, is outstanding. It offers a level of collaboration, with almost complete CAD-system independence, not available with any other tool. It has fine reference accounts, a long list of features, and good ROI.

"CoCreate has been refining its excellent suite of collaborative engineering tools for several years. Sit through one of their demos at a trade show or on the Web, and you will think, ‘Every manufacturing firm that has even a single remote designer or supplier (and that must be all of them) today needs this!’ Even if you are ignorant of the particulars of a given industry, it's immediately evident that being able to see the same page, in real time or asynchronously, speeds up communications and greatly reduces errors."

David Cohn

Editor-in-Chief, Engineering Automation Report

"OneSpace.net is quite compelling. It offers all the advantages of what was already a very strong collaboration environment, while making it affordable for small and medium-size companies. This feature-rich, easy-to-use, and now low-cost collaboration tool should be very attractive to any company that needs to collaborate among team members in geographically distributed areas."

Navi Radjou

Analyst, Forrester Research, Inc.

"By harvesting customer insights, firms can get the right innovations to the right customers at the right time. Rather than treat customers as passive recipients of their innovations, companies will keep customers engaged throughout the invention-to-innovation cycle," wrote Navi Radjou, Forrester Research, Inc. He adds in his June 2004 report Networked Innovation Drives Manufacturer's Profit, "To get the right innovation to market, firms must use tools like CoCreate to engage customers — both mainstream and lead users — from concept to launch."

Marc Halpern

Research Director, Gartner

"Companies face conflict when Engineering seeks a mix of best of breed tools that address specialized needs while IT seeks to simplify enterprise IT with a common infrastructure. In trying to fulfill the unique needs of Engineering, IT can evaluate best of breed tools with open architecture that integrate with enterprise platforms. This provides the best opportunity for companies to satisfy both parts of the organization."

Julie Fraser

Principal & Analyst, Industry Directions, Inc.

"The 2005 version of OneSpace.net boosts the effectiveness of this project team collaboration tool with key business process templates for engineering change, supplier request for bid, and supplier corrective action. This adds further value to an extremely affordable visualization and team collaboration tool for product-oriented projects in companies of all sizes. As companies move out of cost-cutting mode and into more strategic approaches to innovation and lifecycle management, CoCreate's customers can gain the ability to boost top-line revenue with minimal IT cost or day-to-day process disruption."

Tim Minahan

VP of Supply Chain Research, The Aberdeen Group

"Companies involving suppliers and procurement groups in the new product development process at design inception and development are able to reduce costs by nearly 18% compared to companies delaying such collaboration until the product prototype phase. Early involvement also provides 10% to 20% improvement in time-to-market cycles, allowing companies to capture greater market share and gain larger profit margins for being an early mover. Collaborative solutions, such as OneSpace.net, can help even the smallest companies facilitate early collaboration between engineering, suppliers, and other key stakeholders involved in bringing new products to market."
