Recently enterprises are forced to outsource globally to meet diverse needs of customers and a short life cycle of products. For the global outsourcing it is indispensable for OEM and venders to collaborate for design and development of products. In this paper ECSC(Engineering Collaboration Service Center) is proposed to support the collaboration between OEM and venders. The ECSC is comprised of drawing distribution system, part data search system, and CAE analysis system. Once geographically dispersed engineers take part in the workplace of ECSC, they can share and distribute the engineering data and drawings in real time through the Web. Implementation of the ECSC in OEM and venders can reduce largely the time and cost required for their engineering business.
