Sweden's AutoLiv Selects Actify SpinFire
 SAN
FRANCISCO, CA, Sep 23, 2008 – Actify, Inc., the global leader in digital
design communication solutions, announced today that AutoLiv, a producer of
car safety equipment, has chosen Actify's SpinFire Solution as part of their
corporate strategy. With facilities and employees located globally, along
with development and engineering centers around the world, AutoLiv faces
pressure to remain competitive in this global market. AutoLiv recognizes the
need to reduce costs through improve global communication and production.
"When deciding on a new design communication solution we had to think
about the end-users, whom are potentially thousands of employees,
contractors, customers, suppliers, and partners," said Tyler Paxton, PLM
Analyst, AutoLiv North America and the evaluation committee leader for this
project. "Being a diverse group with various skills, we needed something
that was easy for non-technical users and also robust in areas for our
engineers. We found SpinFire Professional to meet all our needs in terms of
user features, vendor support, and cost."
Collaboration across the global extended enterprise (customers,
suppliers, and partners) has become a standard business practice in the
manufacturing industry. Recognizing this and staying true to their corporate
Vision and Mission, AutoLiv's executives are strengthening AutoLiv's core
business through a series of corporate strategies, one of them being the
implementation of Actify's SpinFire Professional solution. AutoLiv's
licenses will be used across the global enterprise by engineering,
manufacturing, quality, purchasing, sales and legal. With SpinFire
Professional, AutoLiv will have business benefits of reduced costs and
active collaboration throughout the extended enterprise.
"The ability to make product data mobile and laptop compatible is not
possible with your typical CAD solutions as they do not operate effectively
on a reasonable machine and are too expensive for a casual user," said David
Opsahl, CEO of Actify, Inc. "We at Actify are pleased to have been able to
provide a global solution that fits AutoLiv's business needs, allowing them
to be flexible and more competitive."
