This very special episode of SOLIDWORKS Live was our last opportunity to discuss the increased features and functionality available starting in July with the cloud services announcement, and we did not disappoint.
Featured in this episode are Senior Product Manager Salih Alani, Industry Process Consultant Brian Zias, Customer Adoption Director Justin Burton, and COO of Hacksmith Industries Ian Hillier. We also featured video clips from Bowhead that feature some of the enhancements in our July announcement.

Sean begins by introducing Salih Alani, who talks a little bit about the “why” and “what” of the SOLIDWORKS subscription benefits. Sal says that the Cloud Services follows the familiar SOLIDWORKS DNA, in that it increases the value of our subscription options, allowing them to choose which parts of the package they would like to use at any given time. It’s a modularized package of functionality that individuals and businesses can use when they’re ready.
Sal gets into some specifics surrounding the offer, including things like “Share File” (the ability to share any file with any user around the world, regardless of whether they’re SOLIDWORKS users or not), and idea that all information is traceable, and so much more.

Sal then speaks to the idea of “hassle-free data management,” and the ways in which the upcoming Cloud Services capabilities address common issues, including revisions, product maturation, locking and unlocking data sets, and even file-naming.

We then aired a video from Bowhead Corp that talks about the benefits of Sharing and Marking-Up files with the cloud services additions, further reinforcing Sal’s points with an actual use case, as well as teasing the next segment in the episode. This is the first of three Bowhead videos we aired during this show:
