Owing to the competition came along with corporate internationalization and globalization, cooperation among enterprises becomes an inevitable trend; business collaboration consequently evolved to be a promising business strategy. Among various business activities, Collaborative Design attracts most attention by industries for its conspicuous efficiency. Apart from domain knowledge, Collaborative Design also involves enterprise organizations, product development processes, corporate relationships and interaction models, as well as application systems and tools. Therefore, the implementation and realization of Collaborative Design represent certain degree of difficulty. 　　This paper firstly investigated the Enterprises Collaborative Design models, an information sharing framework and the relevant core technology were then developed based on the models. By adopting the concept and technology of software agent, and applying its autonomy and decision-making characteristics, the software architecture was designed to complete the mission entrusted by the users. Consequently, with the help from software agents, it is more effective in managing, transmitting, and sharing the engineering information, plus provides solution for version control, security and instaneouslyness; thus enables the collaborative design platform steps out the traditional singular operating frame, and reaches a real cross-platform, simultaneous, collaborative and information sharing level.
