For example, one screen can be focused on Intranet research identifying the least costly part, while
the other is used to enter the information into the design using Pro/ENGINEER.
Added Productivity -
For users who manipulate and modify designs repeatedly throughout the day,
the Compaq Spaceball can provide up to a 30 percent productivity improvement by allowing more
rapid positioning. Also, its default Pro/ENGINEER commands allow users to eliminate multiple
mouse clicks and rapidly step through layered menu selections.
Unique Software Advantage -
With the added software features of a Compaq Workstation, IT
departments can effectively manage the desktop with minimal disruption to the engineer. For
instance, Unattended Install allows IT managers to replicate the same software configuration from
desktop to desktop during installation, reducing the time needed at the engineer’s desk. Another
example is Insight Manager, with its disks monitor function, it can predict when a disk will fail and
communicate that to the IT manager, allowing it to be changed before valuable data is lost.
In many ways Compaq gears its workstations for the success of Pro/ENGINEER users and the new
Windchill Collaborative Product Commerce environment.
