  • Hexagon has contributed significantly to the open-source Fluid Framework data architecture that connects any manufacturing system and will integrate with Microsoft 365 creating agile, simplified workflows and productive collaboration using engineering and productivity software
  • Hexagon will roll-out applications that integrate the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service to empower experienced employees to be more productive and assist less skilled users
  • These innovations form a significant foundation for new real-time co-engineering applications that combine Hexagon’s digital twin technologies with Microsoft Azure
  • Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division today announces its strategic partnership with Microsoft, which aims to redefine how engineers collaborate and enable the discrete manufacturing industry to innovate faster, with more confidence, and with new solutions that combine data from virtual engineering processes with real-world measurement of manufactured products. The collaboration will offer solutions that use modern cloud infrastructure to connect manufacturing and engineering systems – including Microsoft 365 – in Hexagon’s Nexus digital reality platform for manufacturers, and help employees increase their productivity through cloud-accelerated simulation and AI. 

    The partnership aims to transform collaboration across the manufacturing value chain and apply digital twins to accelerate product innovation.

    Transforming how manufacturers collaborate

    Hexagon and Microsoft have partnered closely on the development and scaling of the open-source Fluid Framework and Azure Fluid Relay service to support the real-time sharing of data across a wide range of manufacturing industry processes and systems, allowing data created in one system to be immediately available to any other person or machine operating in another. Under the new partnership, the Microsoft 365 ecosystem will plug into this data layer, enabling customers to connect their day-to-day office documents and processes with manufacturing tools. This gives teams the freedom to innovate with the tools they already use; for example, tooling cost data from a Microsoft Excel worksheet could be easily shared with a CAM programmer, so simplifying work practices and decision-making between roles.

    Microsoft Teams calls can become interactive working sessions, with CAD, simulations or metrology point clouds seamlessly visualised from the source data to allow on-the-spot collaboration and fast, iterative teamwork across disparate engineering and manufacturing functions. Hexagon has already demonstrated this capability in its 3D Whiteboard Nexus tool, which is also now available as an native app in Teams.

    Accelerating innovation through AI and high-performance computing

    Hexagon is working with Microsoft to integrate generative AI models into its manufacturing software, helping users to make better use of their capabilities and analysing existing datasets to learn and suggest the best practices for achieving desired outputs. These AI experiences include contextual advisors, offering expert users productivity-boosting automation while also helping new users to upskill faster and achieve good results with less supervision – a valuable tool as the industry faces a growing skills shortage in many essential roles.

    The partnership will apply Hexagon’s manufacturing, engineering and data science domain expertise and Microsoft Azure’s elastic computing and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure to accelerate engineering simulations by up to three orders of magnitude, making it possible to streamline design & engineering workflows to deliver innovative products to market at greater speed. Hexagon’s machine learning technology optimizes heavy-load simulations, allowing them to run much more efficiently. Azure customers will be able to use their existing contracts to access this machine learning-accelerated compute service through Nexus – allowing teams to use the IT they already have in place.

    Combining Hexagon’s measurement and reality capture technology and Nexus open-access

     platform with Microsoft’s cloud ecosystem creates the foundation for agile and collaborative engineering applications and industrial metaverse use cases. A digital twin utilising Azure compute for simulations can now draw Hexagon’s real-world, real-time data capture and present information to users without complex systems integration. By implementing these technologies, manufacturers can create new workflows across the product lifecycle that shorten time to market, improve factory-floor efficiencies, identify manufacturing problems in real-time and improve quality.

    Stephen Graham, EVP and General Manager Nexus at Hexagon said: “At Hexagon, we’re on a mission to empower the workforce by presenting them with the best available information as soon as possible and helping them to close the gap between their optimal-performance virtual designs and the physical products that they manufacture. We have achieved a huge amount with Microsoft in a few short months by collaborating closely and applying their best cloud technologies to unlock new ways of collaborating and sharing data.

    Our strategic partnership takes this to the next level, driving a shared vison and go-to-market to help our customers connect their Hexagon tools and products with third-party engineering systems and Microsoft 365. This allows for completely new workflows to be built, increasing the visibility of data, enabling sustainable innovation and increasing productivity from design & engineering to end-of-life management.”

    Aleš Holeček, Corporate Vice President Office Product Group, at Microsoft said: “Microsoft’s collaboration with Hexagon is driven by a shared belief that the future of work and productivity is grounded in collaboration. Similar to how Microsoft applied the Fluid Framework to our own Microsoft 365 applications, Hexagon has extended that same open-source data fabric to manufacturing problems, enabling real-time collaboration between the many engineering disciplines it takes to make a great product, through its Nexus platform running on Microsoft Azure. It’s something that will push the boundaries for workplace collaboration for both of our platforms as we connect productivity with the engineering and operational technologies ‘makers’ need to be productive today.”

    Before using ClearScape Analytics, the healthcare organization interviewed for the TEI study said it faced difficulties in scaling its AI/ML models, and experienced problems around managing model drift, updating its feature banks and more. Because of these issues, the organization struggled to identify which AI/ML work would deliver real business value. Moreover, the organization could not run as many models as it would have liked as their data science team was at capacity and struggled to find ways to create new business value with AI/ML. Deploying ClearScape Analytics helped the company to mitigate these obstacles, provide better customer service, and halving the team’s work time. The company has now increased its data science team by 50%, tripled the number of models it was able to develop and deploy, and has freed up time to explore additional AI/ML use cases.

    The Forrester study noted, “Investing in a solution like Teradata ClearScape Analytics is crucial for enterprises as it enables them to responsibly build and maintain machine learning (ML) models for their custom AI/ML solutions.”

    “The important short- and long-term benefits cited in this study, as noted by our healthcare customer, can be experienced by companies across a broad spectrum of industries where there is a need for robust, open and connected AI/ML capabilities,” said Jacqueline Woods, Teradata’s Chief Marketing Officer. “ClearScape Analytics illuminates this transformative potential, not only delivering these capabilities at scale but also empowering organizations with unparalleled autonomy and seamless access to deliver near real-time insights and optimize business results.”

    The study also identified additional benefits from ClearScape Analytics:

    • “The SVP of enterprise data and analytics told Forrester that adopting ClearScape Analytics was cheaper, easier to justify to internal security and IT stakeholders, and faster to implement than alternatives.”
    • “ClearScape Analytics allowed the interviewee’s organization to reduce manual tasks, increase productivity, and successfully scale models into production …”
    • “ClearScape Analytics enabled the SVP of enterprise data and analytics … to deploy more models into production more frequently and with fewer resources.”
    • “Models built with ClearScape Analytics improved patient population health and outcomes through personalized messaging, proactive and relevant follow-ups, a better understanding of population health, and more.”
    • ClearScape Analytics’ powerful AI engine empowered the customer to quickly scale end-to-end AI/ML pipelines with accountability, security and trust — all while controlling costs.

    Forrester’s TEI methodology is designed to enhance technology decision-making processes and assists vendors in communicating the value proposition of their products and services to clients. The TEI methodology helps companies demonstrate, justify, and realize the tangible value of IT initiatives to both senior management and other key business stakeholders.

    Legal industry veteran Debora Jones joins ProSearch as its first COO

    ProSearch, a leading provider of comprehensive discovery and compliance solutions to corporate legal departments and law firms, announces the expansion of its leadership team with the addition of a new chief operating officer, Debora Jones. Jones oversees much of the day-to-day management of the business and is leading its continued growth and evolution.

    ProSearch has recently introduced new innovative solutions, signed multiple high-profile clients, and added several industry subject matter experts to its leadership, client services, and data science teams. Further propelling the company’s growth, ProSearch received its first private equity investment last year.

    Jones brings to ProSearch significant expertise in scaling operations, unlocking revenue opportunities, and building exceptional business cultures. Her extensive experience includes recently working as COO with Exterro, prior to which she spent more than a dozen years in progressive leadership roles at Lighthouse Global and practiced as a litigation attorney at two prominent law firms. Her leadership experience also includes board positions with Washington Women Lawyers and the Seattle chapter of Women in eDiscovery™, and she has served as a program and a committee chair with the Association of Corporate Counsel. Jones earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Washington and her Doctor of Law degree from the George Washington University Law School.

    “The discovery and legal technology industries are rapidly evolving, and ProSearch is committed to evolving with them. Adding a COO with Debora’s experience and background better positions our company for continued growth and expansion,” says Julia Hasenzahl, co-founder and CEO of ProSearch. “We are grateful to have Debora on board and look forward to her leadership and contributions as we introduce more innovative solutions and continue our trajectory into the future.”

    ProSearch offers large corporations a unique partnership model in its Enterprise discovery solution that is both scalable and tailored to help legal teams manage their work and make informed business decisions. The company introduced its discovery review service last year, an offering that uses innovative solutions in AI and data science to address the increasing complexity and cost of legal discovery. The new Review Services model extends the company’s highly regarded approach to aggressive reduction in review volumes and offers valuable insights that accelerate discovery.
