vSTAGE is an interactive 3D editor from Side Effects AG for creating product presentations, virtual trainings, service manuals and spare-parts catalogues without 3D expertise. It works together with vHUB, a cloud platform where native CAD data is uploaded, automatically converted into lightweight 3D models and linked to media, documents and data from ERP, MES, PLM or sensor systems. Results can be viewed in a browser, on tablets or in AR and VR, and embedded in websites, customer portals or learning platforms. It targets manufacturers of complex technical products.
Side Effects AG is based in Zurich, Switzerland, an EFTA country with an EU adequacy decision. The vendor says vHUB follows Microsoft Azure cloud security standards, keeps no CAD data on the server or in local storage, supports two-factor authentication and has been penetration-tested by an external company. It also states that the cloud solution can be installed on an on-premises subscription or on premises. The Azure region is not stated, so ask where data is processed. No foreign parent company is named.
