Interoperability
Interoperability refers to the ability of different systems, tools, and processes to work together seamlessly throughout the various stages of a product's development, from conception to end-of-life. It ensures that data and information can be exchanged and used efficiently across diverse platforms and teams, facilitating collaboration, reducing errors, and enhancing overall productivity. This capability is crucial for maintaining consistency, improving communication, and enabling integrated workflows in complex engineering projects.
Benefits of Interoperability
- Accessibility to all assets in their native representations
- Ability to navigate to the current or selected version of an asset in any repository
- Ability to create relationships between assets, independent of the repository
- Reducing the costs of customs integration
- Allowing greater flexibility and scalability
- Enhancing collaboration between various teams and organizations
- Reducing errors and mismatches
- Improving decision-making
