Accelerating Global R&D Networks
In today's manufacturing environment, increasing the rate of innovation has become a top priority. By expanding your company's global R&D efforts, you can accelerate product development and get products to market faster. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) applications can help you achieve these benefits.
Making global production workflows effective, however, means synchronizing product development worldwide. Managing global innovation processes requires consistent, high-speed access to applications and improved data management.
The Cisco Distributed R&D solution with Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) addresses these challenges by combining the power of Cisco Application Network Services with proven Windchill PLM and Pro/Engineer CAD applications from PTC. This solution accelerates applications and optimizes information sharing and availability to synchronize design activities, keep engineering processes consistent, and provide the latest information to design and production teams.
Key Benefits:
- Improved management and visibility of global product development process through consistent, reliable, highly-available PLM capabilities
- Enhanced productivity for engineers at global design centers and remote locations due to better application performance and faster data transfer
- Efficient deployment and operation through optimization of data center infrastructure and WAN bandwidth
- Comprehensive security to protect confidentiality of critical design data, applications, and infrastructure
