Automotive programmes depend on product information moving between OEMs, suppliers and engineering partners while retaining the configuration context needed to understand and use it.
Explore why traditional file-based exchange and giving external partners access to internal systems become harder to manage as products, supplier relationships and engineering environments grow more complex.
Key takeaways:
- Why increasing product and supplier complexity is putting pressure on traditional information-sharing processes.
- The importance of sharing controlled configurations as engineering decisions, product definitions and supplier relationships change.
- How automotive organisations can collaborate across different PLM, ERP and engineering environments while retaining control of their shared product definition.
- CIMdata’s assessment of ShareAspace by Eurostep as an automotive supplier collaboration hub for controlled product information sharing.
This commentary by CIMdata, a US analyst firm, examines how ShareAspace connects product information across organisational and system boundaries, providing a managed environment for collaboration between automotive OEMs, suppliers and engineering partners.
CIMdata concludes that automakers with secure information-sharing requirements should consider evaluating ShareAspace for collaboration with key suppliers and partners.
