Corporate Knowledge and Intellectual Property – Your Key Innovation Asset

Brought on by intense competition and the need to speed new products to market, High Tech and Electronics companies are expanding their global innovation capability by capturing, sharing, managing, protecting and reusing their proprietary knowledge about products, processes, customers, and competitors. Using your unique corporate knowledge to automate lifecycle processes dramatically accelerates time to market, ensures the consistent application and re-use of company best practices, and improves product quality. Through effective capture and re-use, you can optimize returns on knowledge assets, and protect intellectual property in global networks of partners and suppliers.

Product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions are often an ideal backbone for an effective knowledge management initiative that seeks to:

• Eliminate lengthy redesign cycles by leveraging enterprise-wide knowledge
• Protect consistency and quality of company innovations and brand attributes
• Reapply corporate innovations in new product environments
• Protect corporate IP across a global environment of partners and suppliers
