Design Engineering just wrote a nice article on Vuuch. It seems a little odd to be blogging about something you cannot get online but this is what I am doing. The article is only in the print versions of the Nov/Dec magazine. The article talks about Vuuch being used in design which is a great use case, but the new Vuuch plug-ins has expanded the number of Vuuch use cases. Using the PowerPoint plug-in you can quickly create a WEB page that represents the presentation you are working on. You can think of this page as a Facebook page for the presentation. The same is true for CAD files. The idea is if you are working on a deliverable that requires a community of contributors then drag that file into Vuuch and create a page for the file. Vuuch creates a WEB page that acts as a private community site for the deliverable. Once the page is created the team has a place to connect, discuss and track the progress of the deliverable. We are also working on an Outlook plug-in which will allow you to manage your deliverables where you already spend most of your day, Outlook.
The next time you are doing some WEB research you will want to use the Vuuch for your browser plug-in. Say you are searching for a new motor for that design you are working on. Well as you find WEB content that might solve your design problem, Vuuch the WEB pages and now your team can discuss these options within the context of the project you are working on.
