LOVELAND, Colo., Aug. 9 — (PRNewswire) — Longview Advisors today announced the availability of its 2010 Collaboration & Interoperability Best Practices Survey. The annual survey looks at trends and practices in important areas like collaboration, data exchange, preferred platforms and formats, 3D data deployment, software requirements, and much more. Readers may take the 12-minute survey at www.longviewadvisors.com, or at the websites of its sponsors listed below. Prizes will be awarded for every 20th completed survey - see website for details.

The survey results will be published in Longview Advisors' popular, free, Annual Collaboration & Interoperability Market Report, which provides a collection of relevant and timely invited papers examining the latest trends, issues and technologies in collaboration and interoperability. Many of the papers cover topics discussed at Longview's highly regarded annual Collaboration & Interoperability Congress (CIC), held each year in May.

"Our survey is a great opportunity for anyone in manufacturing to help make a difference in improving the state of collaboration and interoperability in our industry," explained David Prawel, president of Longview Advisors. "It's a chance to translate a 12-minute contribution into potentially big improvements for many fellow manufacturing professionals."

Longview's Collaboration & Interoperability Market Report is widely regarded as a valuable aid in determining collaboration and interoperability strategies, best practices and processes in both manufacturing and supplier organizations, and the software companies that serve them. The Report will be free to the public via registered download, when it becomes available this Fall.
