Services

Product Data Lifecycle Management services including related IT-strategies.

Service deliverables from Eurostep are driven from the concept of openness and that systems should be designed to deliver business flexibility with the relevant level of security. The services are based on world-class knowledge about standards as well as their implementation in business-critical systems as ShareAspace. The unique Eurostep knowledge is derived from our understanding of several domains like PDM, PLM, ERP, ILS and MRO and how to consolidate this domain information and make it easy to share.

Eurostep has during 20+ years developed expertise in product data collaboration inside one domain or across several domains. A domain can be Systems Engineering, Design, Manufacturing and InLife (Aftermarket/Product Support).

Eurostep has leading expertise in collaboration across enterprise borders where security and IP protection are critical. Our experience and best practice include how ShareAspace and involved systems are set up and using Active Directories, Single Sign-On, Firewalls and Enterprise Service Buses.

Studies and Reports
