In today’s fast-paced, global marketplace, the ability to efficiently manage and share product data across multiple systems and enterprise boundaries is crucial. For organizations that work with complex supply chains, diverse engineering domains, and external partners, the challenge of maintaining accurate, secure, and accessible data is all too real. Enter ShareAspace—the solution designed to streamline product data collaboration, eliminate data silos, and ensure your business operates at peak efficiency.
The challenge: Managing product data in a complex ecosystem
As organizations grow and evolve, so do the systems they rely on. It’s not uncommon for companies to find themselves managing product data across a variety of platforms—PDM (Product Data Management), PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), and others. Each of these systems may have different formats, protocols, and data structures, making it challenging to share information seamlessly. Add to that the need to collaborate with external partners, and the risk of data silos and inaccuracies increases significantly.
Data silos, in particular, can be a significant roadblock. When information is isolated within a single department or system, it leads to inefficiencies, miscommunication, and, ultimately, costly errors. The stakes are high: outdated or inaccurate data can result in delays, quality issues, and lost revenue.
The solution: How ShareAspace transforms product data collaboration
1. Seamless interoperability across heterogeneous systems
One of the standout features of ShareAspace is its ability to bridge the gap between diverse systems. Whether you’re using PDM, PLM, ERP, or other specialized software, ShareAspace integrates effortlessly. It consolidates and maps data from these disparate systems into a unified platform, making it accessible and manageable across your organization and beyond. This means that all stakeholders—whether internal teams or external partners—can access the same accurate and up-to-date information, regardless of the systems they use.
2. Facilitating cross-enterprise collaboration
When your product data needs to cross-enterprise borders, security and efficiency become paramount. ShareAspace shines here by acting as a secure hub for data sharing. It supports detailed access controls, ensuring that only authorized users can access specific data while keeping your critical information safe behind your firewall. This level of security not only protects your intellectual property but also fosters trust among partners, making collaboration smoother and more effective.
3. Eliminating data silos
ShareAspace effectively dismantles data silos by creating a single source of truth for your product data.

Inaccurate or outdated data can have serious consequences, from design flaws to production delays. ShareAspace’s master data management capabilities track and control data updates, ensuring that any changes are properly traced and that data remains consistent across all systems and partners. This level of control helps prevent the spread of incorrect information and ensures that decisions are based on the most reliable data available.
