关于客户
ProEdit, established in 1992, is one of North America's largest firms specializing in editing, technical writing, and instructional design. The Georgia-based company has a diverse clientele, including IBM, Honda, HP, Nortel, Ericsson, Siemens, and Texaco. ProEdit is renowned for its customer-first approach and its ability to handle projects of any size with precision and efficiency. The firm has consistently embraced technological advancements to stay competitive in the technical writing and instructional design market. ProEdit's clients, such as Kids II and BILT by Agassi and Reyes, rely on the company for the rapid production of high-quality technical information that aligns with their production cycles and tight deadlines.
挑战
ProEdit faced significant challenges in producing technical manuals efficiently and cost-effectively. The traditional methods of creating product illustrations were time-consuming and expensive, involving either back-and-forth interactions with clients to interpret CAD files or the manual illustration of photographs and prototypes. This process hindered ProEdit's competitiveness and ability to meet tight product launch deadlines. Additionally, there was a growing need to deliver instruction and assembly information over the web, which the existing methods could not adequately address.
解决方案
ProEdit integrated Solidworks Composer to streamline the production of technical manuals and assembly instructions. This software solution was chosen for its flexibility, versatility, and backing by the leading 3-D platform company, Dassault Systemes. Solidworks Composer allows ProEdit to import various 3-D file formats and export them in multiple formats for print and online output. The software maintains the exact geometry of the models, ensuring accuracy and reducing liability for ProEdit. The integration of Solidworks Composer has significantly improved the quality of technical manuals while reducing production time by 15-20%. The software's versatile feature set supports future needs, such as online video and HTML instruction, making it a forward-looking investment for ProEdit.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
