Service deliverables from Eurostep are driven from the concept of openness and that systems should be designed to deliver business flexibility with 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.
