Product development from Design & Engineering to Manufacturing & Sustainment is evolving rapidly, driven by technological advancements and changing market demands. A smooth and effective transition to digital transformation isn’t just a goal—it’s now a necessity for manufacturers to remain competitive.
However, this transition comes with many challenges. As companies move to paperless manufacturing, digital thread and onward to smart factories and a Model-based Enterprise, issues arise: integration of multiple enterprise systems, AI & machine learning, cybersecurity, cloud, effective data management, the necessity for constant upskilling, and many more. In most cases, it’s simply not possible for a single vendor to offer a comprehensive solution that addresses all these issues, especially over time as technology evolves.
What’s needed is a new level of collaboration in the industry, so that the complex pieces of the puzzle fit together smoothly and easily for every manufacturer. That is exactly the concept DANDE Consulting is developing now, as we bring the same innovation and agility to our proven partner programs.
Partnerships are nothing new. The goal is to go beyond traditional partnerships by creating a true ecosystem of companies that can work closely together to meet the specific needs of each customer and project. This is the Composable Partner Ecosystem because it enables us to create a virtual organization for each customer, drawing on the vast resource lake of many world-class partners.
