Shape Corporation Selects FISHER/UNITECH and SmarTeam for Product Lifecycle Management Solution

Troy, MI (October 4, 2004) - FISHER/UNITECH announced today that Shape Corporation, an automotive and industrial component manufacturer headquartered in Grand Haven, Michigan, has chosen SmarTeam as their enterprise-wide product lifecycle management (PLM) solution. FISHER/UNITECH, an engineering technologies firm specializing in PLM products and consulting services, will be implementing the system.

After evaluating the leading PLM industry options, Shape Corporation chose SmarTeam based on its ability to provide them with the best tools for managing multi-CAD platform data, as well as electronic workflow for change control automation. SmarTeam will enable the company to manage their product data at the enterprise level and across their supply chain. Shape Corporation's decision to work with FISHER/UNITECH was based on both a strong existing business relationship and on the company's competency and experience in the PLM market.

As an automotive supplier, Shape Corporation understands the importance of achieving consistent product quality across design manufacturing and standardizing on components and platforms. Shape Corporation has developed several unique rollforming, welding and assembly processes that has made them leading innovators in their field. The SmarTeam implementation will help them retain that position by enabling part and assembly reuse, tooling automation, and by providing multiple authoring tools to manage drawings and documentation.
