Innovate
Accelerate pace of innovation and bring products to market faster
Your product portfolio is diverse and complex. However, without end-to-end processes and a digital representation, challenges arise that inhibit innovation:
-
Customer requirements cannot be
effectively captured and processed
within the development context. -
Your sales team is unable to
independently model and configure
quotes, which prevents a swift and
confident response to customer
inquiries. -
Advanced development methods such
as MBSE, characteristics-based variant
management, or integrated product
costing cannot be implemented due to
a lack of IT/software support.
- Conclusion: These factors lead to disproportionately high efforts for portfolio management, yielding only little productivity. Without the necessary innovation drive, you are unable to quickly react to new market potential and requirements and turn these into profitable business models or products.
CIM Database Cloud Innovate
Take innovation to a new level with CIM Database Cloud Innovate by seamlessly capturing and processing customer requirements in the development context. Use requirements and their structural components – functional, logical, and physical – as the foundation for interdisciplinary product development. This establishes the basis for advanced Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
Modeling your product variability based on rules and characteristics allows you to strategically align your portfolios with product platforms and modular systems. This combines customer orientation with efficient value creation – a key to innovation.
In parallel to product development, Innovate enables you to easily calculate product costs. By simultaneously defining your sales targets, you ensure optimal pricing.
The result: Through end-to-end digital connectivity, Innovate empowers you to swiftly and efficiently execute complex development projects – even from batch size 1. You address the demand for customized series production (“mass customization”) and leverage economies of scale, which are crucial for outstanding competitiveness. Foster innovation with CIM Database Cloud Innovate.
Bring innovations to market faster
End-to-end digital processes are crucial for efficient cross-functional collaboration and the management of complex product portfolios. CIM Database Cloud "Innovate" supports you in delivering your development projects faster, significantly shortening time-to-market, and always keeping an eye on costs.
