 PDF Key takeaways: Companies are striving to apply simulation early in the product development cycle, where systems engineering is often used to allocate requirements and to define and evaluate multi-discipline tradeoffs. The majority of product lifecycle cost is determined by decisions made early in the development process. The decisions upon which costs are based become very expensive to alter or correct later in the process. Products are no longer simply mechanical systems. Model-based systems engineering can be used to enable collaboration across multiple engineering (e.g., mechanical electrical, software, and controls) and other enterprise disciplines (e.g., purchasing, finance, and project management). CIMdata believes that systems engineering will become the pervasive paradigm for product development, supporting and promoting a systems thinking mindset. Companies have always faced intense competitive pressure to develop products better, faster, and cheaper. Simulation is a key enabler to accomplishing this today and into the future. Improved software, better integration with design tools and faster

 PDF Key takeaways: Making better-informed decisions produces better business results. Presenting product- and business-related information three-dimensionally makes digital content more accessible and understandable to users. This is a visual world. Using 3D graphical images of products in development or of facilities being managed makes digital content more accessible and understandable to users, because most people find 3D visual representations easier to comprehend than tabular data, lengthy textual descriptions, or drawings. When joined with other business data associated with an item being viewed, stakeholders gain stronger insights relative to the everyday assessments and judgments they must make to deliver value. Such visual decision making can improve productivity and otherwise increase the corporate bottom line—i.e., making better-informed decisions produces better business results. The SAP 3D Visual Enterprise solution affords SAP and non-SAP customers alike the ability to interact with 3D images of their products, business information, and facilities in order to accelerate decision making within and across

 PDF Key takeaways: Over the last several years the SAP PLM portfolio of solutions has made great strides, making the question “why not SAP?” harder to avoid for potential customers and competitors alike. SAP’s in–memory technology, HANA, is providing significant revenues just a few years from its late–2010 launch. Over the next few years, additional SAP offerings will be built upon HANA to leverage its ability to rapidly analyze and visualize big data. SAP collaborated with its long–time partner, Wellesley Information Services (WIS), to hold their tenth SAPInsider event from March 3 to 8 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over 1,500 people attended tracks on enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management (SCM), customer relationship management (CRM), and product lifecycle management (PLM). The keynote from Steve Lucas, Executive Vice President, SAP Database & Technology, highlighted SAP’s 2010 in–memory product introduction, HANA. In the presentation, titled “Business Suite on HANA: Innovation at the Speed of Imagination,” Mr. Lucas
