Hello Everyone,
Background: I am the IT Director for Budzar Industries, Inc. based out of Willoughby, OH (3-5 designers). We also have a branch in Shanghai, China which we would like to collaborate with (1 designer, but may be more soon). We design large custom heating/cooling process equipment for the rubber, pharm, plastics, etc.. industies using Inventor 2011 Professional. Our assemblies are a mix of custom drawn blocks along with content center driven blocks and typically amount to 2-30MB in size. WE DON NOT USE VAULT, only a Windows filing system based folder structure. We had Imaginit (RAND) and Autodesk try to implement Vault in our environment and were unable to.
Questions:
Is everyone in a Wide Area Network environment with multiple locations using Vault to collaborate? Are there other viable options? Should we be trying Vault again?
What speed of internet connection are you finding is acceptable?
Do the parts databases "sync" or do they transfer across the wire? Our files are to big to go across the wire, they must sync (we think).
Is there a company out there that specializes in this type of implementation? Who have you used?
Anything you guys can tell us would be great. Thank you so much in advance!
Bobby
