Unigraphics Solutions 'state-of-the-art iMAN Portal increases and accelerates the adoption of product development management by providing the user with a single point of access to all product development data within an enterprise. Product data, irrespective of data source, is easily accessible through the iMAN Portal.

Internet Architecture
The iMAN Portal is a 100 percent Java-based solution. This Internet-based architecture allows any person on any client machine in the enterprise to access the iMAN Portal, which can be run on any machine that supports the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), with no client software install required.

Integrated Visualization
The iMAN Portal supports both 2D and 3D visualization through Unigraphics Solutions' integrated ProductVision technology. CAD applications such as Unigraphics, Solid Edge, Pro/E, CATIA, Ideas and Solid Designer are supported.

Integrating Host Technology
Any Java-based technology can easily be integrated into the iMAN Portal. For other technology, the integrator must use connectivity technology such as JNI, RMI, CORBA, JDBC and JavaBean.

Integrating Commercial Software Technology
Unigraphics Solutions is working to integrate our alliance partners' commercial software with the iMAN Portal.

Consistent Look and Feel
The iMAN Portal utilizes a managed screen layout that allows multiple applications to share a common toolbar, menu bar and data panel.

Leveraging the Web
The iMAN Portal also provides "My Navigator" applications which enables the user to summarize changes in the iMAN PDM system.

Searching for Product Data
iMAN provides support for an integrated full text search engine that not only spans the iMAN database, but also other legacy and host-based.
