Webinar: Research Report – How Design Teams Really Manage Product Data

Almost half of product development professionals report being disappointed with their ability to share product data and to manage key processes.


Almost half of product development professionals report being disappointed with their ability to share product data and to manage key processes.

ENGINEERING.com surveyed 147 product development professionals about their data management practices. In this webinar we’ll reveal their responses to several important topics:

  • Do most product design teams use formal systems to manage their data?
  • What attributes of data management do product development professionals value most highly?
  • Does a formal PDM system make any difference to success?

This webinar will be useful to product design teams who plan to improve their data management practices.
