Gears image eSpline's Avenue Translator was introduced and demonstrated at the 2011 BigMachines Conference in Chicago October 23, 2011.

What does Avenue Translator do? It exports a SAP VC product model, translates the Variant Configurator rule patterns, tables and BOM to XML and then converts to BigMachines rules, tables and logic and imports to BigMachines. Table entries, characteristics, preconditions, constraints and class hierarchy are translated. One conference attendee from a company using both SAP and BigMachines said "...the cost will easily be paid for the first year. You just made my year.".
