Discrete product companies are under pressure to commercialize new products faster while lowering capital expenses. Their focus is on growth & market opportunities, always looking for ways to increase the volume of their product sales and their margin of profit. Companies are meeting this challenge by focusing on specific core competencies and partnering for product design, product engineering and product manufacturing. They are also re-examining their product operation processes to improve efficiency and effectiveness. This environment is creating a strong need for sharing of accurate product  information both within the enterprise as well as throughout the extended supply chain. Areas that are of serious concern to companies during the New Product Introduction (NPI) process are:

• Tracking of design revisions, product structure changes and synchronization of product information like product specifications, design specifications, analysis results etc. throughout the product development process
• Sharing of information in real-time with design, engineering and manufacturing partners
• Managing the life cycle of products
• Managing and tracking changes throughout the product life cycle
