Making the value of technology clear
Product Data Management (PDM) is table stakes for today’s manufacturers. Effectively managing design data is mandatory for even small development teams to control, access, and share their product data. These basic PDM capabilities deliver significant operational value by keeping design teams organized and efficient. The PDM backbone, though, is also the foundation for even greater…

How does expanding PLM beyond engineering to support the digital thread from requirements through commercialization help manufacturers launch quality products that meet regulatory demands and customer expectations? How can companies take an end-to-end PLM approach to drive better new product success? Join the Meet the Pros: New Solutions & Expert Advice To Help You Achieve…
Jim Brown had the opportunity to attend this year’s Autodesk University in San Diego, CA. The conference was well attended, with approximately 12,000 people in total. The mood was optimistic and there was lots of vibrant conversation all around. General Impression This year, the conference that we all know as “AU” felt a bit like “AI-U” as Autodesk highlighted their…
Did you know that engineers spend, on average, about a day a week on non-value-added data management tasks? That’s a lot of time spent on design data management that could be spent on driving product innovation and performance. That NVA time has a big business impact as well, including missed design deadlines that can delay…
Our research shows that engineers spend a significant percentage of their time, almost a day a week, on non-value-added data management activities such as finding information, working with the wrong data, recreating data, translating formats, and other common time wasting tasks. These time wasters cause them to miss deadlines, develop products with higher costs, miss…
