Engineering and R&D digitization
Transforming engineering functions to enable sustainable innovation, increase development performance, and reduce cost.
Products are changing. Can your engineers keep up?
The rise of IoT-connected, software-enabled equipment is creating extraordinary opportunities—and major pains. Because with component complexity increasing, bringing new products to market becomes more complicated. So, development performance plummets, success rates suffer, and returns on R&D spending shrink.
How can R&D executives and product owners respond? By boosting efficiencies, driving effectiveness, and expanding innovation through new ways of working.
Let’s speed up your R&D!
By embedding connectivity, data, and AI along your company’s core R&D, product development, and product life cycle processes, we can help you drive:
5-70%
reduction in prototyping and testing time.
20-40%
reduction in overall time-to-market.
15-30
reduction of R&D cost.
5-15%
reduction in material cost.
