Revision Manager

Oculus provides Revision Manager; a tool and an approach that firmly place the engineer at the center of driving delays and errors out of the early stages of design and realizing time savings to progress alternative solutions. Revision Manager; is one part within our 6 Pillars Framework for Modeling and Simulation.

Revision Manager; boasts 3 major achievements that combined will revolutionize the way that engineers work:

Breakthrough technology that integrates Revision Management and Performance Metrics, with Access Control designed-in from the start.
Best practices and proven technology derived from a 4 year, NIST Advanced Technology Research Program which included leading engineering companies and their top engineering talent (United Technologies Research Group and others).
A product that is easy to use, can be deployed across an organization in a matter of days and embeds best practices.

The Challenge	Revision Manager
Keep track of 100s of files across multiple projects and provide auditing of modeling/simulation artifacts and performance metrics.	Revision Manager; provides a complete visual control of all engineering assets. Assets are organized in a hierarchy, and every change to every asset is recorded.
Monitor differences for individual or project team members and instantly, revert designs, compare files, and resolve conflicts	Revision Manager; maintains the relationship between projects and an engineer's work area(s) - notifying engineers when they are out of sync. Engineers may then pull in updates to 'pick-up' the latest team assets. Use our compare and resolve features or 'Plug-in' any compare / resolve tool.
Visualize if results are improving or degrading and exactly understand the impact of engineering changes.	Revision Manager; provides a visual, intuitive approach to coupling performance metrics with the assets used by engineers on a daily basis. Compare different points in time to assess how engineering tasks have affected performance. Track actual results against engineering requirements using a measurable and consistent approach.
Find time to explore additional design alternatives and reduce the number of design errors	Revision Manager; produces a dramatic reduction in the time to progress concepts and design decisions whilst eliminating the rising errors & delays caused by manual 'hand-offs'. Team members can confidently experiment and develop within a workspace, then publish to others in a structured, repeatable, and effortless manner.
Manage projects consistently whether geographically dispersed or in the same building with complete access control at an individual or asset level	Revision Manager; incorporates ground-breaking, patent pending techniques and visualizations. Engineers fully appreciate the power of integrating performance metrics, revision management and access control into a single tool that enables the fast and easy collaboration of all team members whether in the next room or operating from a different country.
