Dynamics in today’s design industry, such as constant advances in technology, increased customer demands, and new compliance standards, requires today’s manufacturers to develop more versatile, higher quality products in a shorter amount of time. Product data will change throughout the idea generation and the design-to-manufacturing process. As product lifecycles shrink, it is imperative that companies are able to manage the product development processes by identifying inefficiencies early on in the design process, ensuring that product goals are met on time, every time.
Omnify® Software is a key component of the EMA product lifecycle management solution. It helps manufacturers manage their product data from concept through obsolescence in a unified environment.
