Critical Driving Factors for the AD Industry

• Innovative technology is in demand and drives
  sales, but its complexity makes it very
  difficult to manage its development.
• Realization of the need to have an agile
  organization a global need to design anywhere,
  manufacture anywhere, repair anywhere.

Solving this issue is the Critical Success Factor

Multi-Enterprise Collaboration

• Paradigm shift in CEO priorities from cost
  reduction to driving growth thru innovation
• 50-70 of product cost is with suppliers
• Products have become complex and global
• Cycle times need to be shortened
• Each partner has its own PLM tools
• Sub contractors cannot afford to use multiple
  systems

Interoperability solutions need to match the
autonomous nature of business

Real-Time Availability

• How much more effective can a company be if it
  can achieve real-time availability, analysis, and
  application of business knowledge from the
  members of its trading community?
• The supply ecosystem is enhanced when business
  knowledge is made available at the right place at
  the right time in the right form.

Multi-Enterprise Collaboration is critically
important to harnessing the information necessary
to innovate
