EEforce securely stores your designs on the server, acting as a centralized repository for all your design files. It serves as a secure bridge, allowing you easy access to all your designs from one central location. With EEforce, you can simply open the platform and have all your designs readily available at your disposal, providing a convenient and efficient way to manage and work with your projects.
EEforce offers support for both password authentication and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). This allows customers to choose their preferred method of authentication for accessing the platform. LDAP support provides centralized management, scalability, and interoperability, enhancing security and user management. Additionally, EEforce allows defining access permissions, ensuring only authorized personnel can access and work on designated projects, further enhancing security and data integrity.
EEforce ensures that all users work on the same platform, promoting collaboration and consistency. It centralizes design files in one location, making it easier to access and manage projects efficiently. With every check-in, a new version of the design is created on the server, enabling users to track and revert to any previous version as needed. This powerful version control feature minimizes the risk of data loss due to software crashes or human errors, providing a reliable safeguard for your valuable design data.
EEforce has been thoughtfully designed with robust safeguards in mind. It adopts a file system-based approach for storing project files on the server, offering the advantages of easy recovery and incremental backup options, without the need for deploying a separate database instance. While some may initially have concerns about potential performance drawbacks, in practice, EEforce surpasses Teamcenter, EDM, and Git by a significant margin in terms of Check-in, Check-out speed, and Browsing responsiveness.
With EEforce, every time you perform a new Check-In, a new version of your project is created. This version control feature allows you to create as many versions as you need. You have the flexibility to manage and track your design changes effectively. Furthermore, EEforce makes it effortless to revert to older versions whenever necessary while keeping your latest work untouched. This capability ensures a seamless and reliable way to manage the evolution of your project, giving you complete control over your design iterations and enhancing data safety and integrity.
EEforce provides valuable assistance to management in monitoring the progress of jobs. The platform offers built-in previews that allow easy monitoring of design progress. Even if you don't have PADS and Xpedition installed on your system, you can still view and review design updates using EEforce's intuitive built-in previews. This accessibility ensures that management can stay up-to-date with project advancements, facilitating better decision-making and fostering efficient communication among team members. EEforce's user-friendly approach enables seamless collaboration and oversight, even for individuals who may not have the full design software installed.
EEforce is purpose-built for PCB Designers utilizing PADS Professional and Xpedition Enterprise, supported by a team experienced in Mentor EDM/xDM, GIT, SVN, and Teamcenter systems.
EEforce streamlines version control for designers, eliminating slowdowns and hassles. Its centralized design storage ensures easy access to files, empowering efficient workflows. With a user-friendly interface, EEforce facilitates seamless data access, enhancing collaboration and productivity without any interruptions. Designers can confidently manage projects, knowing their valuable design data is readily available with EEforce.
EEforce is deliberately designed to be simplistic and intuitive, ensuring a user-friendly experience for all its users.
EEforce automatically extracts previews from Xpedition and PADS Pro designs, seamlessly displaying them in the integrated preview screen. This feature streamlines the design review process, allowing users to quickly and conveniently assess the content of their projects without the need to open the design software separately.
