Today's market is so competitive; it is hard to stand out. To be successful companies must empower their engineering teams to differentiate products on innovation, quality, performance, and cost. One way companies can improve this situation is to provide engineers with real-time access to design data, in the right context.

Recently Tech-Clarity analyzed survey responses from nearly 250 manufacturers to understand how they manage data, communicate engineering changes, and collaborate with both internal and external members of the development team. The results from this survey were compiled into a special 16-page research report which explores:

• Best practices for streamlining access to design data in real-time
• Challenges manufacturers should be aware of as they strive to maintain a competitive edge in today's complex and cutthroat environment
• How manufacturers can plan for a design environment that will prepare them for long-term competitiveness
