Innovation and collaborative, synchronized program management for new programs
Today's advanced E/E system development solutions need to deliver benefits such as managed supplier data exchange, data re-purposing, and process control. These and additional capabilities such as user, library, and release management are inherent to Capital.

E/E system development requires a close connection with other adjacent domains. Capital provides deep integrations with leading MCAD systems - more than a simple file exchange process, designers are provided with precise control of each attribute of the data as it flows between systems. Companies can specify the ownership of each aspect of the data, for example, wire length is defined by MCAD, wire color is defined by harness designer, and once specified, the electrical/mechanical interface controls all data flows. This allows engineers to work concurrently and without risk of introducing errors caused by accidental modification of data in one system or the other. Capital provides integration with PLM systems via out-of-the-box tools or via web-services customization. These can be used to control the release and design management process from the PLM system as well as establishing links to requirements to provide traceability.
Engineering is a team activity within organizations and also happens across a full supply chain; collaboration is essential. To support this, solutions need to have the ability to collaborate within tools and also exchange data securely. Using Capital, engineers can safely and securely share data with suppliers. To facilitate context-relevant information sharing it's possible to add comments to a design and notes to a drawing out-of-the-box. In addition to core collaborative features, an add-on enables additional enterprise collaboration. Capital provides active notification of comment updates to team members subscribed to a design's comments feed. It also enables development teams to create, monitor, and track checklists, allowing them to stay abreast of things that need to be done to finish, review, or release a design.
Engineering teams need efficient design and development tools for electrical systems that enable accurate configuration and change control of data. Capital enables teams to maintain data coherency across designs and abstractions. Users can identify the impact of changes before applying them and analysis allows users to quickly see the related design elements involved in the change. Track all changes and perform design comparisons as needed to keep your development on schedule.
Capital enables the capture of IP via rules and automation to ensure design processes are followed and applied on a consistent basis. In addition, Capital is fully customizable via an API, providing control over the user interface design, provision of custom actions, custom design rule checks, custom reporting, and many other parts of the process. SOA web service technology provides interfaces at many key gateways into the Capital electrical design tools allowing Capital to interoperate as master or slave with other systems such as PLM, component libraries, purchasing, and costing systems.
Corporations around the world are suffering from the relentless rise of cyber-crime, cyber-espionage, and cyber-terrorism. In addition to severely harming a company's reputation, breaches into their secure systems threaten customers' privacy, safety, and well-being. As a result, companies are taking greater measures to secure their information throughout their supply chains.
