• The combination of new technologies such as cloud, mobile, analytics and social with innovation accelerators like cognitive, robotics, 3D printing, and IoT, are allowing some product teams to deliver more exciting products faster than ever.
• Many product teams, however, cannot access these opportunities because they do not share data and processes across their design teams. People working on electronics, software, mechanical design or quality may be left out.

In this 6 page white paper, Jeffrey Hojlo of IDC shares why trends towards i) increasing product complexity, ii) quality-first manufacturing and iii) Internet of Things enablement, make it increasingly imperative for manufacturers to more tightly integrate their product design data and processes, ideally on a single platform. This is particularly critical for product teams in compliance-centric industries such as medical devices and high tech.

Modern product innovation platforms seamlessly flow data across the current silos of ALM, PLM and Quality. In this white paper, the author argues that manufacturers who adopt such a platform will be able to bring more differentiated products to market sooner while achieving target product quality.
