Building the Digital Thread
Products never stop changing. Features may pivot during conception and design. Software may evolve in response to customer feedback.
Yet, while this agility is key to product quality, it also produces a high volume of data and documents generated by different systems, such as MCAD, ECAD, ERP, and CRM systems.
Eventually, this data gets trapped in silos, limiting collaboration and productivity. Manually transferring data between systems leads to poor version control and confusion. This can be especially destructive for organizations who need to meet rigorous quality and compliance standards — which demand accurate part numbers, instructional drawings, service reports and other critical information.
The solution is a digital thread woven throughout the product lifecycle that establishes informational relationships across the company.
