Calculation Information Management - Making the Most Out of MathProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: IDC Published: March 2004 Product Code: R104-14584 Description This IDC study on calculation information management explores the hurdles and
benefits of introduction into the product life-cycle management process within
discrete manufacturing enterprises. Among the hurdles are the persistent silo
mentality within engineering departments, concern about security, and
unwillingness to spend time learning how to use and manage a new work process
that at first glance does not contribute value to product design. However, a
closer look at calculation information management will demonstrate a wide range
of benefits both within the engineering departments and within the extended
business network.
Gisela Wilson, director of Product Life-Cycle Management, says, "The time for
the electronic management of calculations and their underlying assumptions has
definitely come. Calculations are too important a part of a manufacturer's
intellectual property to remain unsecured in desk drawers or on PC
spreadsheets. A well-designed calculation information management system will
assure proper monitoring of access and data sharing and preserve calculations
as part of the overall product file for quality control or later reuse of the
design."Table of Contents Table of Contents IDC Opinion In This Study Executive Summary Situation Overview Introduction Management Challenges Future Outlook Business Strategies Technology Management Business Process Management ?
