AimaSoft EntraLink AimaSoft, a longtime Autodesk developer, showed an intriguing new product called EntraLink at SolidWorks World. Unlike client PDM (product data management) applications, it automates interoperability between CAD software and enterprise applications such as ERP (enterprise resource planning), CRM (customer relations management), accounting, and even existing PDM products. Its underlying database stores a unified dataset
accessible by engineering, sales, accounting, and other departments. EntraLink features a simple, customizable interface, including a dashboard that provides real-time access to data. It also works with legacy data. A taxonomy engine lets you search metadata. Aimasoft says the product eliminates duplicate data entry and synchronization headaches.
