CADENAS PARTsolutions has been named one of the Top 10 Most Promising Engineering Design Solution Providers by CIO Review magazine for 2014. The engineering software and services provider was selected for their industry leading Standard Parts Management (SPM) platform, which enables manufacturers to better manage their “Big Data” across the supply chain - including critical industry standard, supplier standard and internal standard parts data.
CIO Review is a platform for high level executives to share their insights, helping build the business ecosystem while aiding technology and business leaders with analysis of IT trends. Their goal is to provide a better understanding of the role that enterprise solutions play in achieving business goals.
CIO Review’s Selection Criteria
Over the past 3 months, CIO review looked at hundreds of solution providers that are at the forefront of tackling engineering design challenges with cutting-edge strategy and solutions.
CIO Review evaluated a vendor’s capability to fulfill the needs of the engineering design sector through offering state-of-the-art CAD/CAM solutions that enable engineers to deliver projects which are stronger, better and more efficient.
Strategic Parts Management for Manufacturing Enterprises
At times, Big Data gets so large and complex, that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications. The challenges include capture, curation, storage, search, sharing, transfer, analysis and visualization.
Manufacturers have invested heavily in their data infrastructure, pouring millions into their Product lifecycle Management (PLM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and other critical supply chain systems. For manufacturers, difficulty lies in managing all that data, which is continually being pumped into these environments.
“Your systems are only as good as the data in them,” says Tim Thomas, CEO of CADENAS PARTsolutions. “Data needs to be clean, accurate, up-to-date and easily accessible across your organization. That’s often easier said than done.” Thus, Big Data bottlenecks cost manufacturers billions each year. That’s where CADENAS PARTsolutions comes in.
CADENAS PARTsolutions has developed a Strategic Parts Management (SPM) platform to better manage standard parts and their usage as defined by business rules across various sectors, and not just in engineering. SPM serves as the missing link in Supply Chain Management (SCM) strategy by connecting manufacturer’s systems (ERP, PLM, CAD) to their supplier, industry and company standard parts.
