Product Development Collaboration

Work together better

With increasing competition, your organization must persistently push the limits of new product development — reducing costs, driving innovation, minimizing design cycles, and improving product quality — all while bringing products to market faster than ever. To achieve these goals, you must find better ways to communicate and collaborate across dispersed project teams and with remote suppliers, offshore production facilities, and customers worldwide. Adobe solutions can help your organization collaborate on product designs, project plans, and other critical yet sensitive information across your entire value chain more securely and cost effectively. With Adobe solutions, you can:

  • Communicate and collaborate with anyone, anywhere
    Improve communication by delivering engineering content from a variety of sources – including 2D and 3D designs, office documents, and rich data already available in your CAD, PDM, and other business systems – in content-protected PDF files. Enhance collaboration by sharing product data with stakeholders across the extended enterprise – even downstream users working in tooling, support, maintenance, supply chain, procurement, technical publications, or sales and marketing. All they need is free Adobe® Reader® software.
  • Simplify and automate the review and approval process
    Enable stakeholders throughout your value chain to make comments and interact with 3D design data. Again, all they need is Adobe Reader. By enabling feedback to flow both ways, you can make higher quality and informed decisions earlier in the process. Better business intelligence increases opportunities for innovation and reduce the costs and risks associated with late-stage engineering changes.
  • Protect and control sensitive information anywhere it gets distributed
    Implement digital rights management (DRM) so you can maintain information security and version control of sensitive documents, even after distribution. Use Adobe solutions to dynamically control who can open, edit, print, copy, or forward your PDFs. These controls remain with the document wherever it goes — online, offline, and even outside the firewall. Learn more about Adobe solutions for digital rights management.

SOLUTION BENEFITS
