GEZE GmbH Switches to PDM Solution from CoCreate
CoCreate OneSpace Model Manager centralizes data for design, work preparation, production, sales, and purchasing

FORT COLLINS, Colorado and SINDELFINGEN, Germany — November 8, 2007 — CoCreate Software Inc., a leading provider of 3rd generation PLM software applications for high-tech electronics and machinery, today announced that GEZE GmbH, the global leader in the development and production of door, window and safety technology, has purchased over 50 licenses of CoCreate OneSpace Model Manager.

All 45 members of the design department will use the software to access 2D drawings and 3D models designed with CoCreate OneSpace Modeling, while more than 100 other team members in sales, purchasing, work preparation and production will use floating licenses for direct access to the same design data, guaranteeing integrated use of the information company-wide.

GEZE GmbH, founded in 1863, offers a comprehensive catalog of products, including door technology, automatic door systems, smoke and heat venting systems, safety technology, glass systems, and window and ventilation technology. GEZE, an internationally operating company, credits its market leadership to its focus on developing progressive standards in building technology. Development efforts include groundbreaking innovations and precise, custom solutions for customers. The company's global legacy is evident in international construction projects, such as the Children's Science City in Dubai and the Red Bull Hangar in Salzburg, and in the growing number of GEZE subsidiaries worldwide.

GEZE cited several reasons for using OneSpace Model Manager. First, GEZE expects increases in productivity, as partial loading and streamlined models simplify work with large components. Second, OneSpace Model Manager stores and retrieves design information, with easy access options for departments other than the design department. Third, CoCreate enhances useful features, such as the generation of PDF files and exchange formats like DXF and DWG already in the base package, with modules for optimization and automation of the work process. The integration to solutions like SAP is also simplified.

"OneSpace Model Manager has significantly simplified our planned connection to SAP, so that we can guarantee an integrated PLM process in the company," said Ralf Roth, CAD Administrator at GEZE.
