White Paper – API for the Digital Thread

Traditional views of large enterprise development see information siloed throughout different departments. A change occurring in the design can have significant impact on time and costs if not reflected throughout the product's lifecycle. Integrating, synchronizing, and managing development data throughout the product development process becomes difficult from the ever-growing, complex environments comprised of siloed systems.


Traditional views of large enterprise development see information siloed throughout different departments. A change occurring in the design can have significant impact on time and costs if not reflected throughout the product’s lifecycle. Integrating, synchronizing, and managing development data throughout the product development process becomes difficult from the ever-growing, complex environments comprised of siloed systems.

When you add the rapid acceleration of technology advancements such as Industry 4.0, IoT, blockchain, and others to the development process, more challenges and complications occur.

As a result, companies find it difficult to manage and maintain their product data as well as stay competitive with the changing pace of technology. But much of that confusion can be eliminated if the correct processes are built into your product design workflow. One method for eliminating complexity is the deployment of a robust API.

In this white paper you will learn:

  • Where complexity originates in a product design workflow
  • How an API can streamline the various threads of complexity in a product design workflow
  • How the appropriate API can make your IP more secure
