- The controlled review and release processes ensure quality, requirement fulfillment, and regulation compliance
”The cloud-based system has been fantastic, and it’s worked seamlessly for us through multiple moves and expansions. You put your computer on the table and you’re immediately able to collaborate efficiently around the world’.’
Stefan Krause,
Co-founder electrical car manufacturer Canoo
Coordinate as a Change Manager
Facilitate changes and coordinates a close-loop collaborative change process that clearly communicates change decisions and assignments to all impacted domains.
- Make informed decisions by obtaining a full impact assessment of change requests from all impacted organizations
- Communicate change decisions and assignments to all
- Improve product development quality by establishing governance standards for the entire enterprise to adhere to
- Reduce time and cost associated with changes and mange with intelligent change management rules and automation
Manage release of your products
Work effectively with accelerated cross-team collaboration during the product development, ensuring productivity and visibility across the enterprise. This process fosters and accelerates multi-discipline collaboration through engineering responsibility assignment and tracking.
- Manage Engineering Bill Of Materials with product items from multi-discipline engineering
- Parts, technical documentation (CAD models and other technical specifications), Engineering BOM, release and revise engineering BOM and technical documentation
- Enhance collaboration with web based 3d navigation
Electronic design possibilities
Connect electronic engineering with all engineering data to ensure traceability through the end-to-end development process. Plan and optimize the entire system at a high level to reduce errors and bring quality products to market.
- Improve efficiencies through collaboration by providing access to ECAD data directly on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
- Accelerate the electronic design process by providing impact traceability from requirements to deliverables
- 360 degree visibility on impact and context from all engineering disciplines ensures decisions are made on the right data
Manage your projects
Deliverables-based project management links product development data to a project, enabling real-time monitoring and assessment to improve project performance.
- Connect portfolio definition and governing projects the same system
- Leverage a system that aligns the project scope with the project schedule and resource assignments
- Reduce non-value added activities related to reporting task status
- Directly connecting to objects under development allows project managers to anticipate issues and mitigate earlier
- Real-time decision support through advanced Analytics

“Our shift toward becoming a technology, services and energy company must be collaborative. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform connects engineering to all disciplines in one digital company. We will gain agility, speed, and effectiveness to develop new mobility faster than ever.”
Luca de Meo,
CEO at Renault group
Standardization when sourcing
On the platform, you can seamlessly source your components among in-house content and 50 million parts from external designers. Thanks to a component similarity search its easy to enforce sourcing strategy with a fast alternative or double source supplier identification.
With Classification Intelligence, you can enable automated classification and detailed engineering comparison with market components. Then optimize your component reuse strategy by identifying your preferred content.
