Spicer Corporation, the leading independent developer of collaboration, viewing, markup, and scanning software, announces key relationships with apparel industry leaders, developed via the implementation of Spicer's ViewCaf integration to MatrixOne Apparel Accelerator for Design and Development(tm).

Spicer ViewCaf seamlessly integrates into the ENOVIA MatrixOne Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution and handles all of the visualization needs for apparel designers, producers and distributors with a rapidly deployed tool for document viewing, collaborative review and printing. ViewCaf's latest integration for ENOVIA MatrixOne supports file versioning, revisions, and Single Sign-on.

"Our ViewCaf integration to MatrixOne Apparel Accelerator for Design and Development(tm) is a perfect fit for the apparel industry," says Patrick Pidduck, Director, Product Management at Spicer Corporation. "A single application opens all of the emails, Excel files, PDFs, CAD drawings, and other formats that apparel manufacturers need in their daily workflows. Everyone uses the same tool to access the same information and no one needs to learn new software or install multiple expensive programs. Workflows are streamlined by up to 30%."

For apparel industry leaders, a PLM system provides a single access point to all of the data and documents required for the organization's business processes. The ENOVIA MatrixOne PLM solution with Spicer ViewCaf integration helps manufacturers make the most of every dollar and of every hour in the day.

ViewCaf enables cross-platform functionality using a standard Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, or it can function as a standalone application. Scalable architecture gives ViewCaf the ability to handle an essentially limitless number of users, while its customizable API gives administrators complete control over security and functionality.
