Quebec, Canada, November 8, 2007Agni Link is a companion to SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor or AutoCAD that provides real-time, bidirectional integration with Microsoft Dynamics. Agni Link is the only application of its kind that offers a unique and reliable way to unify SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor or AutoCAD and Microsoft Dynamics databases.  Every time a CAD document is saved, the user may edit data shared between CAD and Microsoft Dynamics using possible values obtained “live” from Microsoft Dynamics.  Upon end-user confirmation, Bill of Materials data is updated in both the CAD document and the Microsoft Dynamics database, thus ensuring perfect synchronization of both data sets and completely eliminating redundant data entry.  Agni Link can process and synchronize a wide range of Bill of Materials data from either environment, including:

  • CAD Part, Component and Assembly data
  • Microsoft Dynamics Production Bill of Materials (BoMs) data
  • Microsoft Dynamics Routing instructions

Yielding high Return on Investment, Agni Link typically pays for itself in 60-90 days. Elmo Solutions Science Officer, Ricardo Talbot said: “We are very excited about delivering the most advanced and efficient method of sharing Inventor, SolidWorks or AutoCAD and Microsoft Dynamics product data. We are especially very happy with our ETO-intensive customers’ response to Elmo’s approach to CAD-ERP data integration, and we are thrilled about this new extension to Agni Link.”

Agni Link is readily available from Elmo Solutions. It not only addresses the needs of SolidWorks users, but also those of Microsoft Dynamics users, who share product data with them throughout the enterprise. Designed with the end-user in mind, the latest release introduced powerful characteristics such as a new copy and paste feature that allows extremely efficient populating of BoM data directly from the CAD environment, without having to go through the ERP application.

Agni Link’s open architecture can support a wide range of ERP applications, including:

  • Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision)
  • Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains)
  • Microsoft Dynamics AX (Axapta)

Established in 1979, Elmo Solutions is a world class leader in CAD-ERP data integration, with users in 48 countries.
