In today’s business world, automotive manufacturers depend on integrated IT systems for design, production and sales. The support of integrated processes through consistent product data is a major prerequisite for shortening development times despite increasing product differentiations. In many cases, however, the use of many diverse single systems with complex interfaces and multiple data storage actually makes it difficult to shorten process time. For this reason, we offer solutions for product data management (PDM), enabling low-redundancy data storage with customizable navigation interfaces. These are characterized by the following advantages:

• Avoidance of integration gaps through a direct and standardized connection of the OEM's and the supplier's PDM systems
• Online access to technical data for suppliers
• Maintenance of the technical data by suppliers
• Integration of purchased parts into the PDM processes

 To increase the operational efficiency, same parts are used increasingly in different products. The persons involved in the corresponding processes have to be able to call up binding information on which components can be used in which vehicle derivatives or which should be used in the future. Any deviations from a completed and published utilization plan have to be approved for all projects through change management. Our portfolio also contains high-performance solutions that support our customers when faced with such challenges.
