In today’s global product environment, you have to collaborate with other design sites, sales and marketing, customers, suppliers and manufacturing sites to ensure that your product design meets its launch date with success. Study after study has demonstrated that collaboration is the key to innovation and successful new products.
However, it can be frustrating when everyone on your extended product team, including yourself, wastes an incredible amount of time looking for information and preparing and attending meetings to get the status and updates. As a result, programs get launched behind schedule, over budget and still not satisfy your customers.
Traditional communication tools are too hard to use, too restrictive and too time consuming to update. Information doesn’t get to everyone that needs to have it, because it’s locked away in departmental applications or lost in somebody’s email inbox.
With Collaboration Suite, you and your colleagues can attend your design review and status meeting with all of the project statuses updated and the latest drawing revisions at hand. Now your meetings become planning sessions to design your products better as opposed to an update session to firefight issues and problems... and your launch success rate increases dramatically.
ENGINEERING.com’s integrated web-based platform - specifically developed for product development processes - allows you to meet your global product development needs and greatly improves your product launch and introductions.
