What Do Sophisticated Product Developers Need To
Know To Unlock The Power Of Digital Engineering?
Gone are the days when product development teams
operated on waterfalls and were relatively
straightforward. By the time a project reached
the QA stage, it was often a different product
than what had been outlined in the original scope
document. Manufacturers, distributors, and OEMs
need to integrate the best technology available
to reduce the cost of development and support and
shorten the time to market. Embedding devices and
systems capable of operating at multiple voltage
levels is a great way to achieve systems-level
redundancy and meet today's consumer
expectations for multi-voltage products.

Global companies embrace the intent to build
local value in an integrated global way. The
vision is to access and apply global digital
assets, content, services, and technical
capabilities to local markets. Business leaders
are starting to realize that they need to adopt
a more digital-centric approach to enable their
businesses to continue evolving. Looking across
both digital transformations (DX) and DevOps, you
can see that the two go hand in hand because of
all the changes that need to occur within a
global business to embrace this new way of
thinking and operating. Several innovative
development approaches, such as "DevOps" or
"Agile Testing," have been considered. Some
businesses have taken an all-encompassing
approach to their development environment. Many
of these difficulties can be addressed with the
help of requirements, tests, and workflow
management systems, which provide the process
and data foundation. Companies who do not use a
holistic development solution, on the other
hand, must incorporate at the very least an open,
industry- standard service for moving data
efficiently between logical development
stages. Industry trends such as globalization,
off shoring, outsourcing, and virtualization have
resulted in more complex, cross-functional
workgroups that require a fundamental re-
examination of the relationship between business
and technology processes. As engineers continue
to focus on delivering quality products and
services in shorter timeframes, a greater
reliance is being placed on engineering process
integration (EPI). As a result, the Open
Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC)
framework has emerged as a strategic enabler for
EPI initiatives. Vendor-neutral Data and Process
Integration (VDC) has recently published a
research paper titled, "Development Lifecycle
Integration Improvements with OSLC." The
research is based on an online survey from more
than 700 industrial developers, who shared their
thoughts on differing development lifecycle
integration strategies and their experiences
with third-party software products to unite
disparate management tools.

As a result Whether we're talking about a
product, a service, or a solution, digital
engineering is the enabling technology of today.
From conception to delivery, Digital Engineering
is all about enabling flexible cross-discipline
construction of complex software-driven
intensive systems. Based on an open architecture
that implements OSLC, companies advance and
extend the power of digital engineering to
companies and their increasingly vast ecosystems
of partners and suppliers who collaborate to
bring higher quality products that address
stakeholder needs to market faster and at lower
cost.
