SAP goes modular

SAP AG, the world's biggest maker of business-management software, said it will sell a new version of its Business Suite software, allowing clients to buy only the parts they need, reports Bloomberg.

“It's a modular approach,” Walldorf, Germany-based SAP spokesman Evan Welsh said.

“In the past you had to buy the whole suite, now you can pick and choose.”

GM of TechnologyOne ECM, Roger Manu, will preview the future of the TechnologyOne Enterprise Content Management solution, writes Image and Data Manager.

Previously known as DataWorks, it was acquired in November 2007 when TechnologyOne bought Australia's Avand.

“Our goal is to develop a solution that will provide rapid access to data and content,” said Manu.

Blue Ridge Numerics recently announced a new CFdesign implementation program in North America, tailored for companies that need to drive engineering innovation in this tough economic climate, while facing strict capital expenditure controls, states MSNBC.

The program ensures companies can tap into the value of upfront CFD and digital prototyping to solve their flow and thermal design challenges at the moment they need it most.

The implementation program includes two phases: solution development, which solves immediate design needs through customised project-based services; and technology transfer, which enables customers to leverage the knowledge gained in the solution development phase to permanently integrate CFdesign into their product development workflow.
