Press reports June 2003 deal with EDM/PDM
Darmstadt,
Germany, June 30, 2003 -
Not only in the automotive industry, but also in the aerospace
and other industries, suppliers are no longer involved
in developing individual components but complete modules
and systems instead. The simple exchange of CAD data is
no longer sufficient for the purpose of coordinating distributed
development: The development partners also require the
structure data and other product data such as updates
and revisions stored in TDM/PDM or ERP systems. PROSTEP
now offers Teamcenter Engineering (previously I-man) users
the option of using the engineering data workflow solution
OpenDXM® to transmit this data from their PDM system –
practically at the push of a button.

PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC), the product development company, today
published an exclusive study on the aerospace and defense
markets that found product development in those industries
suffering from a significant lack of coherent vision,
management and execution. The study, "Forging A Common
Vision: PTC Survey on Improving Product Development in
the Aerospace and Defense Industry" announced at the Paris
Air Show, revealed that aerospace and defense (A&D) industry
senior management executives and operational executives
see the world in fundamentally different and conflicting
ways. Management and operational executives disagree on
a wide range of important issues - including the importance
of breakthrough innovation in creating new markets, the
need to increase the efficiency of the development process,
the importance of skilled personnel, and the role of internal
IT departments in product development.
