| Available directly from the www.opencascade.com site, dynamic a la carte support ensures rapid results and brings greater benefits from the Open CASCADE Version 3.1 components |
Paris, May 16, 2001 – The new support plan offered by the Open CASCADE company helps users reduce development time with the Open CASCADE open-source 3D modeling components and speed return on investment by adapting to evolving needs as their development program progresses. By evaluating existing and future development resources, users can determine which of the three a la carte programs best fits their requirements. The Advantage program is geared to individuals or small development teams, the Premium program covers the needs of up to 10 developers, and the Excellence program brings assistance to larger teams.
Users select the services that correspond to specific needs at any phase of their project, complement their development resources and enhance productivity. The individual modules are adjusted to obtain the quota of units corresponding to either the Advantage, Premium or Excellence program level. If, for example, development activity requires extra manpower for a development team that is reasonably skilled with the Open CASCADE components, the a la carte order will include a greater number of development manpower modules and less of training.
Within each program users can select a combination of the following individual service modules:
· helpdesk (access by phone or email, return call or e-mail contact within 4 working hours, query processing within 3 business days)
· e-learning and training (online or on-site courses on the basic and advanced aspects of Open CASCADE)
· technical support (help with modeling data and algorithms, the visualization function, the Workshop Organization Toolkit, viewers and graphic interfaces, the Open CASCADE Application Framework, and porting of applications)
· expert consulting (advice on software architecture and data model, advanced modeling, graphics, advanced data exchange, C++ and JAVA, and CAD-to-FEA integration)
· development manpower (extra hands for application building within the Open CASCADE Application Framework, development of application geometry and the visualization engine, GUI design and implementation, connection of applications via data exchange functions, integration of the CAD model with simulation software, quality testing, industrialization, application deployment and porting to various hardware platforms)
· dedicated project manager (thorough understanding of the development project, outstanding competence with today's leading development tools, expertise on international projects)
