firstlook Deep Access, combine them with text information, and publish all in a secure PDF file to be passed along to prospective suppliers or partners who want to participate in the bidding process. Scenario Number Three involves technical publications, which are a significant case area for Right Hemisphere software. A designer could, for example, take the original engineering content and automatically create derivative 2D files for the production of manufacturing assembly sheets, training manuals, or service manuals. He or she could go into Deep Access and output 2D images per the specific requirements of the technical publication directly from an Internetbased application interface. Users can get an annotated bill of materials diagram in Adobe Illustrator format, for example, without having the actual model or the Illustrator application resident on their client desktop system. That image may already be positioned and scaled the way the technical publication producer needs for his or her document. The system requirements for Deep Access fall into two categories. On the server side, you’ll need a server running Microsoft Windows Server 2000 and later, Microsoft IIs, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Right Hemisphere Deep Server 5, and Deep Access. On the client side, the base requirements are a system with Internet Explorer 6+ and Microsoft .NET 2.0. You likely will need to install an ActiveX control on the client side to make everything work as expected. Right Hemisphere’s Deep Access is priced as part Deep Access associates all related images, so users can see everything that’s been created on the same part or assembly, as well as who created each individual image. of an enterprise solution and starts at $995 per serverconnected user for the Deep Access software only. Although it’s difficult to adequately convey the essence or even a significant portion of the features of a product like Deep Access, if you’re interested in an efficient way to manage, collaborate, and publish digital media at the corporate level, then Right Hemisphere’s Deep Access is well worth investigating.
