Recognizing the need for efficiency in product development.

As companies adapt to today’s global economy, the need for a reliable, traceable and secure method to exchange data with partners across enterprise boundaries around the globe is crucial. None of the available traditional communication methods satisfy the requirements for leading edge manufacturers:

FTP used often by automotive, aerospace, defense and consumer product companies, is time-consuming to manage, a security risk and provides no traceability.
OFTP, used in the automotive industry, is costly, slow and often limited to European business partners.
E-mail, used by many industries, is not secure, difficult to manage and often fails when sending large files.
Then of course - mailing CD/DVDs is also time-consuming, slow and costly.

By adding TRUfusion Portal to a TRUfusion Enterprise solution, companies have a solution that solves all these issues by providing a reliable, traceable and secure method to communicate with any partner anywhere in the world. The combined solution automates the entire data exchange process from the source to delivery to a partner, whether through TRUfusion Portal or another communication method.

Ensuring Seamless Integration & Connectivity.

TRUfusion Portal is fully integrated with TRUfusion Enterprise — Trubiquity’s market-leading solution for Managed Data Exchange (MDE). To send data to a partner, TRUfusion Enterprise users are only required to select data and the destination. TRUfusion automates the entire process which can include PLM export, CAD Translators, quality checking and delivery for download by the intended recipient. Once delivered to the Portal, the recipient accesses data using their unique user name and password. Each step in the process is logged, providing a complete record of every transaction. Data synchronization between TRUfusion Portal and TRUfusion Enterprise is achieved via web services using the secure HTTPS protocol.

TRUfusion Portal is installed in an enterprise’s DMZ, allowing secure data exchange only with authorized partners without compromising the security of other company assets. It provides business partners with a secure, easy-to- use, web portal to exchange data with TRUfusion Enterprise users as well as administrate their own users. Further more, the solution can also be configured to communicate using other methods including TRUexchange. The TRUexchange solution is available for those companies who are looking to outsource their web portal data exchange requirements with their business partners, rather than deploy, own, manage and support software within their enterprise.
