The exchange of product data

The exchange of data between development partners is characterised by increasing complexity and a continuously growing volume. This means supporting standards and providing a high degree of flexibility. The integration of individual requirements in connection with exchange processes and the connection of third systems place further demands on a modern data exchange platform. data exchange platform.
In addition to the basic functionalities, which technically implement data exchange, other criteria are becoming increasingly important for increasingly important for companies. Reliability and traceability should be and traceability should be ensured, as more and more data is being exchanged worldwide. But the number of data exchange partners is also steadily increasing. Any information about the successful transmission, the exchanging parties, the time and the data itself, must be mandatory. Furthermore high-risk islands of data, such as e-mail inboxes and insecure transmission paths (e.g. FTP) must be avoided.

SWAN - the system for the worldwide exchange of data
Wherever companies work together, data is exchanged and managed. Data exchange between development partners is particularly sensitive. SWAN is a professional data management system for data exchange between development partners. (https and other OFTP/OFTP2 protocols). SWAN offers a modular solution that covers all requirements for secure data exchange in the engineering sector. Basically, any file format can be transferred with SWAN. In the development environment, especially in the area of design data exchange, the requirements for SWAN have increased more and more in recent years.
During development, care is taken to use existing standard software. This means that SWAN can guarantee the following points and support basic functions, among othersBasically any file format can be transferred with SWAN.
