pdfSecond Request Software Developer Invitation
Several weeks ago we asked you to complete a questionnaire sponsored by NIST. Our
records show we have not yet received it. If you have already submitted your
responses, you may disregard this notice.
The information you provide will help NIST better assess the benefits of STEP and the
needs of this portion of the manufacturing sector, thereby allowing NIST to channel
future investments towards projects that best meet those needs.
In case you did not receive the email or have misplaced it, we are attaching it again
below. You can respond online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QYR9DPF.
Your response is completely confidential. It may only be used for statistical purposes.
Published summary statistics will not identify individual firms.
If you have any questions or need assistance, call us toll-free at 1-800-350-4888,
weekdays between 8:30am and 5:00pm, Pacific Standard Time. You may also contact us
via email at [email protected] or [email protected].
Thank you for your cooperation with this important project.
Enclosures.
On behalf of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Robert D.
Niehaus, Inc. (RDN) is evaluating the potential benefits of STEP in reducing
interoperability costs for the exchange of product data. Interoperability problems arise
when members of the supply chain create technical data using different design,
manufacturing, engineering, or product data management (PDM) software applications.
As a member of the industry who produces the software used in the design operations of
the industries we are investigating (automotive, aerospace and shipbuilding), you have
unique insights into the state of STEP incorporation in CAD/CAM/CAE or PDM
software. The information you provide will help NIST better assess the benefits of STEP
and the needs of this portion of the manufacturing sector, thereby allowing NIST to
channel future investments towards projects that best meet those needs. The data from
this questionnaire will be used to revise projections made in NIST Planning Report 02-5
(http://www.nist.gov/director/planning/upload/report02-5.pdf).
Please answer the questions in the questionnaire provided on the URL listed below with
reference to your CAD/CAM/CAE or PDM software products. This questionnaire is
confidential and voluntary. Please feel free to collaborate with your colleagues when
answering these questions. No one outside of RDN, Inc. will see your personal or
company information. Data you provide will only be used in aggregate with other
companies and will not be disclosed to anyone outside of RDN, Inc. and CIMdata. We
need your help to make sure we have the very best information possible and greatly
appreciate your time and efforts

All responses will be kept strictly confidential.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this important effort. If you have any questions
please contact Brianna Briggs ([email protected]) or Ian Monsma
([email protected]) or toll-free at 1-800-350-4888.
Thank you for participating in this questionnaire.
