More than half of the profitability of a product is baked into its formulation or design, yet product managers and design engineers select components primarily for form, fit, and function. Today enterprises must also factor in spend, compliance, regional availability, and quality at design time to create more profitable competitive products. Unfortunately in most companies this critical data is in many disparate forms and spread across many information systems, and is impossible to access in a single view.
To help enterprises address this challenge, Endeca has developed the Discovery for Design and Sourcing search application. This search-based approach to connecting to all necessary information is user-friendly, requires zero training, and enables discovery for key decision making.
