Description
Summary:Engineers are also lacking a great deal of information that would assist them in their jobs. Product data management is intended to work as an information engine that tracks products from their development through their useful lives. Product data management's roots are based in design engineering, but its vision has been to establish enterprise-wide infrastructure to support management of the product life cycle.
