Designed for implementation throughout an enterprise-wide computing environment, DM2 soft- ware provides a complete inforr tion management solution whicli enables users to manage large at; small format documents, enginee? ing data and the workflows that"1 deal with this information. In a DM2 implementation, infor- mation can flow through the entire enterprise. Whether the data is raster images, CAD designs, text documents, ASCII files, video clips or audio files, the DM2 software suite manages the information and relationships betweenj«tCrmafcron. DM2 provides tjje-fneans^Mj both define androfifie business process- es in tja^'organization, as well as thjj^fcrols to implement and manage lese proceses. DM2's multi-platform, client/ser- ver solution incorporates a graphi- cal user interface (including a native Windows client), workflow support, and universal native-for- mat viewing and redlining across supported systems.

Tom Baybrook, Intergraph Federal Systems vice president of Federal Marketing and CAD-2, commented, "The addition of DM2 to the Facilities CAD-2 contract will provide installation managers with the capability to revolutionize their data management and work- flow processes. They will be able to realize immediate payback in increased productivity and effi- ciency." Facilities CAD-2 Intergraph was selected by the U.S. Navy to provide computer- aided design and engineering (CAD/CAE) systems for architec- ture, engineering and construction (AEC), geographic information sys- tems (GIS) and facilities manage- ment applications. The award is a major component of the Navy's approximately $1.2 billion CAD-2 program for the acquisition of com- puter-aided design, manufacturing and engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE) systems based on commercial, off- the-shelf technology. The Facilities CAD-2 contract is the first oppor- tunity for federal buyers to imple- ment the concept of the The Technical Desktop with Windows NT, integrating technical and busi- ness applications in a single sys- tem, for maximum productivity and economy. The first CAD-2 con- tract, from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), was award- ed to Intergraph in 1991. The most recent CAD-2 contract, from the Naval Air Systems Command and Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, was awarded in 1994. An agreement with the Depart- ment of Defense enables all branches of the U.S. military to buy from Facilities CAD-2. Civilian federal agencies such as the U.S. Coast Guard, the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency also may buy from this contract.
