Solid Edge Beats the Competition with Two Major Industry Awards

PLANO, Texas -- Two major product lifecycle management (PLM) industry publications have honored Solid Edge, a leading mainstream computer-aided design (CAD) software product from EDS, for PLM industry-leading technology advancements. Both awards were bestowed on Solid Edge at events during the annual National Manufacturing Week activities in Chicago.

CADENCE Magazine honored Solid Edge with its National Design and Engineering Show (NDES) Show Stopper Award for advanced technologies in Solid Edge Version 14. Solid Edge was the only winner among all mainstream CAD products on the global market.

Design News Magazine presented Solid Edge Insight with its Computer Productivity Tool of 2002 during its 16^th annual Design News Engineering Achievement Awards Banquet on Tuesday evening. Solid Edge was the only software package of any type to receive the award.

CADENCE cited Solid Edge for its latest release, Version 14, which ships this month. The magazine cited Solid Edge�s Rapid Blue shape creation technology, as well as CAD advancements in managed collaboration, assembly design and drafting productivity.

"We took an independent look just as any CAD professional looking for new technology advancements would and clearly recognized that Solid Edge has delivered a true winner with its latest software offering. We have come to expect good things for the manufacturing industry from EDS and its Solid Edge continues to deliver them," said Arnie Williams, editor-in-chief at CADENCE.

Design News Magazine named only one software tool in it annual awards selection. Solid Edge Insight was named the best new computer productivity tool for 2002 by the highly respected publication. "Working transparently, most users will not even know they are using data management tools," the magazine reported. "It removes the burden from the user to learn and implement what has historically been complex technology," the magazine quoted its independent panel of judges as saying.

"These two awards reinforce and independently validate that Solid Edge is the best CAD and design management system in our market," said Bruce Boes, vice president of Solid Edge marketing and business strategy for EDS. "Our new technologies, such as Rapid Blue shape creation and Insight.NET managed collaboration, extend unmatched productivity dividends to the rapidly growing Solid Edge customer community."
