Why Fusion-DX?
In today's manufacturing environment, organizations often rely upon multiple global sites, joint ventures and suppliers to execute product development initiatives. OEM's and suppliers involved with product development programs across the extended enterprise are often required to exchange and manage immense volumes of sensitive product data. Complicating the global data exchange and data management processes is a wide spectrum of regional data exchange standards and autonomous product data management systems.
In order to meet the demands of today's business environment, organizations frequently employ resource intensive manual processes and multiple systems solutions to overcome connectivity issues in the data exchange and data management arenas. Within the automotive industry alone, there is a $1.4 billion annual waste due to disparate product data handling procedures and practices.
Compounding the problems associated with data exchange and management are intellectual property rights protection concerns. Today's fragmented data exchange solutions do not provide end-to-end data traceability and security, compromising an organizations most valuable asset, it's intellectual property.

- OFTP/ENGDAT
