Flexible
Collaboration

With Arena, you get flexible options for formal and informal collaboration. These are Supplier Licensing, Scribe and Arena Exchange.

Arena Scribe

Keep your product chat with the product record

With Arena Scribe, your internal teams and external suppliers can share information and discuss product design and quality issues during the in-between spaces of formal processes. Like other social sharing applications, team members begin Scribe collaboration discussions on the product record and invite others to participate. Through a chat interface, distributed teams can exchange ideas and alerts keep hot topics visible.

Arena Exchange

Share product information without licensing limitations

Arena Exchange is for frequent, ad hoc collaboration with your extended supply chain. Using Exchange, simply invite your partners to collaborate around any given design or build package. They can then view, comment, or download the latest product information including bills of materials (BOMs), documents, and manufacturers’ and suppliers’ information (AML/AVL). Your partners can also invite their partners to review the same product design or build package to ensure everyone is on the same page.

With no licenses to purchase and unlimited sharing, Exchange removes all barriers and allows collaboration, whether you have Arena or not.
