GOOD REASONS FOR USING
OPENDXM GLOBALX IN THE CLOUD

Data exchange constitutes a vulnerability when it comes to cyber security. Many companies still send their data unencrypted through the global data networks and run the risk of it falling into the wrong hands. The protection of intellectual property during data exchange does not necessarily require the installation of hardware and software or specially trained staff. The OpenDXM GlobalX SaaS solution provides companies with all the benefits of our secure data exchange platform as a service from the cloud.

1.

Cloud options

Customers can use OpenDXM GlobalX SaaS in either a private, public or hybrid cloud.

2.

Corporate branding

Regardless of the cloud option selected, customer-specific branding of the user interface with a company's own logo, start screen and URL is possible.

3.

Multilingual capability

The web-based user interface has been optimized with an eye to use in the cloud and supports multiple languages, including Japanese and Chinese.

4.

Multilevel encryption

The individual files are encrypted both during storage and during transfer and can also be secured using personal keys.

5.

Rights management

Rights and role management permits precise control of file accesses and administration rights. Users can be created using a company's own user administration facility, or they can be imported using an LDAP solution.

6.

Authentication

OpenDXM GlobalX can be combined with TOTP-based two-factor authentication, which means that it meets strict security requirements according to TISAX even in the cloud.

Are you facing the challenge of having to quickly integrate a development partner that is on a different continent and is only able to exchange data in a development project via the Internet? This is not a problem with OpenDXM GlobalX. You make the data available in encrypted form on a server in the cloud, while at the same time retaining control over encryption, authentication and logging of the exchange operations.

Do you want to distribute confidential documents via the Internet in a secure manner? Thanks to end-to-end encryption, you can specify prior to uploading a document to the cloud that the document can only be downloaded by the person in possession of a private key. OpenDXM GlobalX assumes responsibility for the secure generation, management and distribution of these private keys.

Let's assume that you make requests for quotes available to your suppliers worldwide electronically but, due to a change, you need to send all the recipients an updated version of the documents. OpenDXM GlobalX can also deal with this problem. The application makes the documents available in encrypted form in the cloud in either an individual or group WebSpace and informs all recipients of the change via e-mail.

Do you want to automatically provide other company sites or partners with data? Gateways and robots allow you to transfer data in batch mode from the OpenDXM GlobalX portal to other company sites or partners – and vice versa. A transfer log and multi-threading technology ensure that the data arrives at its destination quickly and securely, even if the partners do not have a reliable Internet connection.

Are you wondering how you can share confidential content via e-mail without compromising your intellectual property? The Outlook integration ensures that attachments of a certain size, format or for certain recipients are automatically made available in the OpenDXM GlobalX cloud portal when e-mails are sent. The recipients are notified via e-mail and can download the data using a link.

Would you like to send data directly from your locally installed PLM application and still benefit from the advantages of the cloud? The standard integrations to 3DEXPERIENCE, Windchill, SAP ECTR, Teamcenter and other PLM solutions make it possible for you to send and receive data from your familiar working environment via the OpenDXM GlobalX cloud service and to monitor and log the exchange processes in the PLM system.

Would you like to still be able to reliably trace your data exchange processes in 10 or 15 years' time in order to be prepared should a warranty claim be made? OpenDXM GlobalX in the cloud not only ensures that exchange processes are monitored and logged reliably, but also that the exchanged files are archived in the cloud in encrypted form over a longer period of time.

Are you faced with the question of how you can make CAD data available to your customers in the automotive industry using the ENGDAT format and OFTP protocol, and at the same time speed up your data exchange processes? OpenDXM GlobalX also provides support for automated data exchange with partners via ENGDAT/OFTP in the cloud.

Would you like to use OpenDXM GlobalX as a cloud service without having to worry about the administration aspect? We not only provide the cloud infrastructure and take care of installing and configuring the software, but also offer you an additional service for managing the WebSpaces as well as creating and maintaining user profiles. Monitoring and backups are already included in the SaaS solution service.

Are you using OpenDXM GlobalX on premises and would like to move your data exchange application to the cloud? Our in-depth knowledge of cloud infrastructures, data storage and data exchange means that we not only provide you with support in the context of moving to the cloud of the cloud provider of your choice – we also provide you with operational support in the infrastructure of our SaaS provider.

Do you have any questions about our cloud services, would you like to find out more about the solutions we offer, or are you looking for an opportunity to work with us as a partner?

Then I look forward to hearing from you!
