Quebec, Canada, April 29, 2007 – Autodesk has certified that Elmo BoM 2006 has demonstrated the highest level of interoperability with Autodesk Inventor. Elmo BoM 2006 not only addresses the needs of Autodesk users, but also those of all their colleagues, particularly those who work along the production process. It allows extracting and exporting, in just one single operation, of all of the product data it finds in Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Visio, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architectural, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Mechanical and Mechanical Desktop. The extracted BoM (Bill Of Materials) takes the form of a single XML or Tab-delimited file which can then be imported or attached in third-party applications (such as Excel, Access, etc.), or brought into any ERP system, thus making CAD product data available for other purposes such as engineering, production, costing, etc.. It was designed to make data available in a timely fashion throughout the entire Product Lifecycle.  Elmo BoM 2006 is available as a trial downloadable version on the Elmo Website at https://elmosolutions.com/elmobom/elmo_bom.htm
Elmo Solutions President and Science Officer, Ricardo Talbot, said: “We are pleased – and very proud – that once, again, Elmo BoM was among the first products to pass Inventor 2008 certification with flying colors, without any modification whatsoever. That says a lot about Elmo Solutions’ commitment toward the highest quality standards in software development. We believe our enhanced solution will help PLM/CAD customers obtain the best possible return on their huge past investment in the creation and maintenance of their digital design data and metadata by making these priceless assets available to all departments of a company (production, sales, marketing, costing, service, etc.). Elmo BoM was the first of our rich collection of tools that will allow to dig for these hidden treasures.”
Established in 1979, Elmo Solutions is a leader in the creation, management and publishing of engineering documents and metadata. The current Elmo Solutions offering also includes Agni Link, a live, bidirectional link between CAD and ERP systems, and Elmo Enterprise Search, an enterprise search engine targeted mainly at engineering and manufacturing users.
