Omnify Software Introduces Empower 7.0 Product Lifecycle Management

TEWKSBURY, MA--(Marketwired - Dec 13, 2016) -  Omnify Software, a leading provider of web-based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software for discrete manufacturers, today announces the immediate availability of its next-generation Empower PLM product, version 7.0. This product release highlights Omnify's dedication to delivering feature-rich, yet easy to use solutions for its customers. Version 7.0 was re-designed on a new technology platform offering an enhanced User Experience (UX) with a modern interface, simplified navigation and overall improved ease of use.

The Omnify Empower PLM solution provides a central location to electronically manage parts, Bill of Materials (BOMs), Engineering Changes/ECOs, Documents, Projects, Quality/CAPAs, and Training Records. Version 7.0 offers all of the functionality of the existing system with many enhancements.

Key Omnify Empower 7.0 product updates include:

• Improved User Experience: Empower 7.0 leverages the latest browser technology to provide users with an enhanced experience by delivering an updated look and feel, improved navigation, independent scrolling slide-out panels, and extended User Interface (UI) options.
  
  
• New Security Features: Omnify Empower offers both on-premises and hosted deployment options. New security features have been added for both our On-Premises and Hosted/SaaS customers, including an improved password framework with new retrieval options and an extended authentication platform that supports more Single Sign-On (SSO) methods and providers (LDAP, OAuth, SAML, etc.).
  
  
• New Design Upload Wizard: CADKit, Empower's design integration tool, includes a new Design Upload Wizard to help guide engineers when uploading design data from 3rd party tools. The upload utility will automatically recognize any changes and apply the redlines to new or existing Changes/ECOs.
  
  
• New SiliconExpert Interface: A new integration between SiliconExpert and Omnify Empower will supply users with detailed part information when creating new, corporate parts/part numbers and maintain a direct link to SiliconExpert to deliver the latest component information on those parts within Empower 7.0.
  
  
• New Technology Platform: Empower 7.0 is built on a REST (Representational State Transfer) services platform to enhance the integration framework for 3rd Party systems with additional functionality, improved performance, and to simplify future integrations.
