Eurostep takes a unique approach to PDM as we partner with our customers to help them establish and formalise their PDM requirements so that they can be implemented on their system of choice.
Understanding business needs
Product Data Management is only useful if organisations understand the business need behind it. Eurostep has unrivalled experience in product data across a number of areas such as the Oil and Gas, Aerospace, Telecommunication and Automotive industries. Our consultants have help customers identify the key PDM issues and apply best practice from around the world.
Partnership
Eurostep has core expertise that can be used by end-users and vendors alike to further the goals of their PDM project.
Vendor neutrality
Eurostep has experience of a number of leading PDM systems but are independent from them. Eurostep provides impartial advice before during and after PDM system selection.
Appropriate use of standards
Eurostep believes that customers should define their models and software using accepted standards wherever appropriate so that they can truly operate in a global market. Eurostep has world class expertise in CORBA, OMG domain standards, XML, STEP standards, EXPRESS and UML and many other standards. In particular we are actively involved in the development of standard product lifecycle models, and in the standards used for sharing and exchanging data between PDM systems.
PD Pilot - An established approach
Eurostep has developed PD Pilot, a Fast track approach to PDM based on our work with world leading companies such as Boeing, Bofors, Volvo and Nokia. The approach steers and guides customers through separate stages that use industry best practice, formal modelling and rapid prototyping.
Deliverables from these Eurostep PDM projects are tailored to the individual customer's needs but typically include one or more of the following
• Statements of scope and business requirements
• Information models
• Process models
• Software for browsing requirements
• PD IT architecture reports
• Software that maps between product data related systems
• PDM software components for use in a distributed PDM environment
Eurostep uses PD Pilot to help companies beginning their PDM acquisition and to help companies implement their chosen system.
Fast-track the requirements...
...and go to prototyping.
