Reinvent your Engineering and R&D operations

We digitize, optimize, and transform your traditional R&D and cloud engineering organizations by combining our deep knowledge of engineering process excellence with empowering technologies. This can greatly increase returns on R&D investment, reinforce security by design, and enable design for sustainability. Leveraging the power of cloud engineering, we connect and integrate product data end-to-end across the value chain and create digital representations of products and services.

Products are changing. Can your engineers keep up?

The rise of IoT-connected, software-enabled equipment is creating extraordinary opportunities—and major challenges. With component complexity increasing bringing products to market becomes more complex. So, development performance plummets, success rates suffer, and returns on R&D spending shrink.

How can R&D executives and product owners respond? By boosting efficiencies, driving effectiveness, and expanding innovation through innovative digitization solutions.

Let’s speed up your R&D

We help you embed connectivity, data, and AI along your company’s core R&D, product development and product lifecycle processes.

Potential benefits include:

Accelerated time to market

better visibility and integrated and automated processes.

Reduced cost of quality

less rework for product/process defects and service quality issues.

Reduced carbon emissions

from processes/products along the entire product lifecycle.

Reduced R&D costs

through operating model transformation, agile concept adoption and other next generation engineering methodologies.

Higher R&D efficiency

using automation and data digitization/AI analytics to enable engineers to focus on high-value engineering.

Higher product success rate

through customer-centric products/services based on customer insights.
