SDRC today announced that the Aberdeen Group, a leading IT market analysis firm, named SDRC and SDRC's customer, Seagate Technology, to its Collaborative Product Commerce (CPC) Top Ten list. This award recognizes the successful implementation of SDRC solutions in Seagate's development and introduction of new products to the marketplace via Seagate's Virtual Design Center.
SDRC's product data management solutions enabled Seagate to facilitate a collaborative design environment. Seagate engineers, regardless of geographic location, can use this solution to access design data from the same source -- the common repository. The Virtual Design Center establishes Seagate's foundation for a complete value-chain collaborative environment including suppliers, partners, and customers.
"Success in developing and implementing CPC software is essential for manufacturers, because it enables them to decrease product time to market while maintaining product quality," said Jack Maynard, research director, Collaborative Business Solutions, Aberdeen Group. "Through its use of SDRC solutions, Seagate has decreased time to market, eliminated third-party costs associated with paper-based communication and decreased data storage costs all while managing hundreds of thousands of files in multiple sites."
"We are pleased to share this award with Seagate, one of our marquis customers," said Bill Weyand, chairman and CEO, SDRC. "In today's business culture, it is critical for companies to manage product lifecycles in close collaboration with suppliers, business allies, and customers. Seagate has done an excellent job in establishing their collaborative strategy, and as evidenced by this recognition they are in a leading position in the CPC arena."
