A tectonic shift is underway

Product development, design engineering, manufacturing and the supply chain are the next digital transformation frontier.

It’s bigger than the digital transformation of your front office and back office. It requires a complete reimagination of how to meet customer demands and expectations. And it’s creating new levels of productivity, growth and sustainability.

To get it done, organizations need to transform the core operations of their business and build a digital backbone and thread that runs from their consumers all the way through their value chain—and back again.

Welcome to Industry X

Intelligence changes, not just how we think, but industry itself and the very products it makes. Intelligence is Industry's X.

In a world where you digitize what you make and how you make it, looking at products from ideation to end-of-life and recycle them becomes possible.

“We predicted that digital would ultimately be applied at scale to the core of a company’s business – the design, engineering and manufacturing of their products and have been building the unique capabilities and ecosystem partnerships to combine the power of digital with traditional engineering services for nearly a decade.”
