Effective product data management improves product development performance

How does effective product data management (PDM) improve product development performance?

Discover the answer in this insightful ebook featuring research from companies that design, engineer, and manufacture products. Learn proven best practices for managing critical design data — including CAD files, bills of material (BOMs), and other product-related information — to improve efficiency, collaboration, and overall development outcomes.

Top performers have more effective product data management (PDM)

Read the ebook by independent research firm Tech-Clarity, Effective Data Management Improves Product Development Performance, to understand why top-performing product developers prioritize strong data management capabilities.

The research shows that leading organizations are significantly more likely to:

• Quickly find the data they need

• Efficiently share information across teams

• Effectively manage their design projects

• Deliver accurate, up-to-date data to manufacturing

The findings reinforce a clear conclusion: effective data management remains a critical enabler for designing, developing, and delivering profitable products.

Top Performers Embrace the Cloud and Advanced Data Management

Research shows that leading product development organizations go beyond basic data storage. On average, top performers:

• Leverage advanced capabilities within their data management systems — not just CAD file storage and control

• Are 70% more likely to share design and engineering data using the cloud

• Have three times as many users on their system when using PLM software

• Are 4.3 times more likely to extend system access to third parties, including customers and suppliers, when using PLM

These capabilities enable stronger collaboration, broader access to information, and more streamlined product development processes.

The Cloud Advantage in Product Data Management

The research in Effective Data Management Improves Product Development Performance highlights a strong connection between product development success and the growing use of cloud technology for sharing product data. Cloud-based solutions help organizations increase agility, improve visibility, and support better decision-making across the lifecycle.
