At AST we support our customers as closely as we can to ensure a Team Design Philosophy.  To aid this collaborative working, between AST team in their offices and our customers representatives (such as engineering, manufacturing, sales and procurement departments), AST has a unique Value Added edge over our competitors with our fully interactive online DATAshare system.

DATAshare allows our designers to work along side our customer's team electronically across the globe electronically, reducing wasted travel time and giving our customers up to the minute access to their developing design.  Our customers only need access to an internet connection to collaborate with our team, manipulate data stored on our server at our facility, remotely mark-up design enhancements or changes LIVE with our designers and then we can save the on-line creating a very accurate video of minutes to that meeting!

Utilising the latest WiredRed software e/pop  AST pay for all of the hosting service required.  Unlike many other Internet video conferencing products, e/pop does not use peer-to-peer or broadcasting technology, which often fail in corporate and government networks due to firewall, proxy and private routing limitations. The entire video conferencing session sends all traffic via the e/pop server. Since this server is at a fixed IP address, and uses port 80 and http, it achieves high levels of proxy and firewall compatibility, plus provides the foundation for multiparty desktop video conferencing!  So you can feel safe in the knowledge that this solution is secure too!

All of our customers, whether they are 10 miles away or the other side of the globe, are now fully integrated in the design process ensuring the final deliverable is exactly what they require.
