Managing Development Data & Collaboration Globally

Home > Consulting Services > Global Collaboration

Product Development organizations are faced with the growing challenge of measuring productivity in terms of days or weeks rather longer traditional cycles. Effective collaboration among departments, customers, and suppliers is the key. As Time to Market is accelerated, the reliance on technology increases and the importance of its accuracy and usefulness is increasingly vital. With the magnitude of today's dissimilar product development tools, platforms, and data management systems, sharing product and process data has never been more critical yet more complex. Consequently, the engineering value chain integration is taking on a whole new sense of urgency throughout industry today.

Common Obstacles to Collaboration may Include:

Product development driven digital engineering requirements are not well understood IT Resources focus on managing released CAD data
IT Resources focus on managing released CAD data
3D modeling and analysis data is not leveraged/managed
Data management is viewed as a tool, not as a strategic activity "pulling" tools into the development process
Product structure/function is not leveraged as core data index
Data is not maintained in neutral formats
Program data and information is not easily accessed
Fundamental engineering change and release are not controlled effectively
Redundant data and poor leverage/reuse of data
Suppliers/Customers data is exchanged manually and/or by paper
Information Technology resources are scarce
