Product Development |
Product Development covers the process of defining a product, gathering requirements, developing the product, sourcing for
suppliers involved and managing the ramp-up. As the early phases of product development determine the costs for the product
to a great extent effective collaboration between project managers, developers, designers, and engineers is a must. In combination
with the R&D Administration the strength of the PD process is based on the concept that all ideas, documents, structure information,
early process information and early layout information are collected and managed centrally. This starts with the initial idea
and goes right the way through to start of production, and also after SOP, if necessary. The massive flood of information
processed every day requires powerful tools for data management and distribution.

| Development Collaboration |
The business process "development collaboration" allows you to
optimize a cross-enterprise product development with internal and
external teams including the sourcing of complex product
components. This is reached among other things by a consistent
central storage of all relevant data during the entire
collaboration process and a secure integration of external partners
and suppliers.
Customers find solutions for collaborative engineering and
project management that supports the development of high-quality
products to satisfy the customer on time and at the lowest possible
cost. It employs XML-based Web standards to communicate information
such as project plans, documents, and product structures across
virtual development teams to optimize cross-department product
development. Improved efficiency is reached among other things by a
consistent central storage of all relevant data during the entire
product development process.
