For the development of complex systems such as space systems, concurrent engineering processes are being increasingly used to integrate different engineering teams. These processes are supported by and dependent on computer systems that enable reliable data exchange and design review, verification, and validation processes. However, it is a major challenge, in practice, to obtain the right data, at the right time and from the right stakeholder.
In prior ALM and PLM webinars, we discussed the technology (ALM and PLM: The Innovation Twins) and the business case (ALM and PLM: The Business Case for the Marriage). In the upcoming webinar, BHC Consulting, PROSTEP, and Aras focus on methodology and people. Without a solid methodology (like Systems Engineering), the collaboration between disciplines will be cumbersome despite good ALM and PLM platforms and sound connectivity.
The ways we design and make have always been connected by purpose. Now, we can connect the people, processes, and data, too. AU is the conference where you can learn how to put the possibilities of Autodesk’s Design and Make Platform to work. Together, we can make anything.

Empower Engineering Change - New Proficiency for Interdisciplinary Change Management\
Tuesday, November 8, 2022 at 4:00 P.M. CET
We are undergoing a transformation from a focus on products to increasingly interdisciplinary and networked systems. These systems are built using a combination of mechanical design, E/E development and software engineering. The increasing level of interdependencies between engineering artifacts require new methods to manage engineering change. Against this background, the potential of integrating Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Product Lifecycle Management will be highlighted in this webinar.
The amount of heterogeneous data from various development tools requires new approaches to engineering change management. With the help of MBSE models, the impact of a change can be analyzed across development disciplines. At the same time, a PLM backbone can manage formal changes via workflows that cross IT system boundaries. The interaction of the systems and a connection via EAN-CAD/Software-Integrated Development Environment (SW-IDE) will be highlighted in the webinar.
In this webinar, Aras Product Manager Leigh Young will be joined by Rik Rasor of Fraunhofer Institute for Mechatronic Systems Design (IEM) and Robert Huxel, Director Business Development & Marketing, XPLM to show the benefits of interdisciplinary change management. They share best practices based on Fraunhofer IEM’s 10 years of experience.
This will be an English-speaking webinar.
Join our exclusive webinar with Engineering.com on October 25th at 2PM ET.
Organizations that turn the digital thread from an idea into reality will unlock widespread opportunities to improve performance at every stage of the product lifecycle, from design to end-of-life management. Indeed, the digital thread empowers each function it touches to increase efficiency, reduce redundancy, improve collaboration, and accelerate innovation. Businesses that seize these opportunities can greatly benefit their customers, business partners and shareholders.
But like its real-world namesake the digital thread can be cut short all too easily, causing the flow of product data to be broken across people, tools, and systems.
Join Nick Scholz, Product Marketing Manager at Sinequa, to see how a robust digital thread — powered by intelligent search — can: Transform an organization’s efficiency Boost its bottom line earnings Lay the foundations to enable truly collaborative engineering And much more

Is PLM only for engineering and industrial enterprises? Does it necessarily have to be a physically tangible product to manage its lifecycle?
Even the abstract products like Financial Offerings or non-CAD products like Food and Pharma products follow a similar lifecycle. The financial institutions or manufacturers need to eventually execute a market research and gather requirements, think about product design to outsmart the competition, launch the product, take care of issues reported from market and eventually think about EoL. Compliance and strict regulations compel to document everything meticulously.
Achieving all this, without losing the efficiency across the enterprise, is a huge challenge. Moreover, the market dynamics make it necessary that the platform being used is flexible enough to stay updated for future scenarios - which aren't even thinkable yet.

Selection processes – why are they creating problems for customers?
This webinar speaks to the fact that companies get into trouble, simply because they have chosen the wrong system for their needs. This is a result of a broken selection process that has been designed – not to help the customer choose the right system for them – but to showcase a diligent process. And once the company finds out that they have chosen the wrong system, it is too late.
PLM selection processes today are often ineffective and should be redesigned. Not for our sake, but for the customers. Join Leon Lauritsen, Vice President Minerva Group, A/S, and Mark Reisig, Vice President of Product Marketing, Aras for an informative discussion.
This conference is geared towards educating attendees on how organizations around the globe are improving the way organizational knowledge is captured, shared, and reused. Throughout the two days, organizations will share their best practices on how they implemented Knowledge Aware within their organization and ways it improved their organization. Attendees can expect to learn about the following:
Strategies for implementing Knowledge Aware
Project experiences from the Knowledge Aware approach

The International Knowledge Aware Association (IKAA) is founded on the premise that there is transformative value in unlocking enterprise knowledge. A confluence of new technology reveals a shift from knowledge as a passive reference asset into an active influencer integrated into the flow-of-work. In this new paradigm for managing knowledge, processes become ‘aware’ of and react with the continuously evolving, enterprise-wide base of knowledge. Collectively we call the ideas and techniques that assist us in reaching this objective ‘Knowledge Aware.’
Digital transformation initiatives are driving manufacturers to reconsider how PLM strategies can better support their digital backbone. This is driving PLM to the cloud and demanding more capabilities and agility than ever. How can a customized enterprise PLM system, which is integrated with many systems and tools, allow modifications to support digital transformation and product development without creating a dead-end customized solution? Is it time to force a hard decision between customization and the cloud? In this webcast industry experts discuss the challenges manufacturers face today and how low-code solutions impact the cloud versus custom equation.
Join James White, VP Digital Innovation Research, Tech-Clarity, and Mark Reisig, VP of Product Marketing, Aras Corporation, as they discuss how today’s manufacturers are leveraging cloud PLM to support their digital transformation initiatives.

Digital Transformation and Digitalization of Engineering are two key initiatives that providers of next generation products depend on to control accelerating product complexities. The goal is always the same: faster time to market, better quality, and reduced costs. But since these efforts are no longer specific to a particular discipline (ex: mechanically driven companies increasingly becoming software driven) they can no longer rely strictly on BOM-centric thinking and must embrace system-centric thinking. System-centric approach allows to see how sub-systems interact on a functional level which results in faster and less risky insertion of emerging technologies and the latest best-in-class tools. It is also pivotal to an effective and timely system-level integration with sub-systems provided by supply chain that accelerates validation and verification of the product.
Join Chad Jackson, Chief Analyst and CEO, Lifecycle Insights, and Paweł Chądzyński, Senior Director Product Marketing at Aras, in their live discussion of the role of Systems Thinking and PLM platform have in effectively managing accelerating product complexities.
Experience 2 days of virtual sessions & case studies from largest Global Enterprises to Hidden Champions on MS Teams, Sharepoint & Yammer, Collaboration & Search. Learn, engage and discuss innovation in real-time with thought leaders across Europe.

The ever-expanding complexities of systems being designed, digital transformation initiatives, and innovations in manufacturing increase the demand for robust and intelligent simulation that is automated, consistent, repeatable, and traceable. The latest simulation use cases include MBSE (Model-based Systems Engineering), generative designs, digital thread, additive manufacturing, digital twins, and cross-domain behaviors of system-of-systems (e.g.: autonomous vehicles).
Efficient management of simulation data, processes, and results at every stage of product development lifecycle is vital to managing the ever-increasing systems complexities. While current simulation algorithms are growing ever more powerful there is a need to make them ever more pervasive across more teams in cross-disciplinary ways. The goal is to enable more simulation, reduce simulation bottle necks, enable digital verification, and react quicker to changes in product definitions.
Join Matteo Nicolich, Product Manager at Aras, for a 30-minute demonstration to learn more about simulation management and automation in Aras Innovator, including how to:
Reduce design time by capturing your simulation best practices in an executable form
Enforce simulation best practices across the global enterprise
Achieve consistency and accuracy in simulations results
Increase accessibility to and traceability of simulation results
Intra.NET Reloaded USA 2021 will be hybrid – Both live in Chicago and online via a digital event platform hubs101. The leading intranet and digital workplace event brings together more than 250 top intranet, digital workplace, and internal communication professionals.
A key to successful knowledge management is ensuring information is easily accessible. But when it’s stored across different repositories, in all different formats, it has a ripple effect across the organization. Projects are delayed, issues take longer to solve, tasks are duplicated, people get frustrated, and expensive errors are made.
For organizations to truly become knowledge-centric, they need a complete enterprise search solution. One that gives employees a single, personalized place to access all relevant information and insights, wherever they live. Not only does it save employees’ time, but it impacts strategic priorities, including cost savings, revenue increases, and risk mitigation. Sinequa’s Alana Cento will show you how to build a case for a powerful and complete enterprise search technology for your organization.
