Collaborative Product Development
CPD is a business strategy, work process and collection of
software applications that facilitates different organizations to work together
on the development of a product. It is also known as collaborative product
definition management (cPDM). Collaborative Product Development helps individual
users and companies manage, share and view your CAD projects without the cost
and complexity of purchasing an entire PDM or PLM solution. CPD comes in the
form of a Software as a service delivery model, which allows for rapid
iterations and little or no downloads and installs. Exactly what technology
comes under this title does vary depending on whom one asks; however, it
usually consists of the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) areas of: Product
Data Management (PDM); Product visualization; team collaboration and
conferencing tools; and supplier sourcing software. It is generally accepted as
not including CAD geometry tools, but does include data translation technology.
Technologies and method used:
Clearly general collaborative software such as email and
chat (instant messaging) is used within the CPD process. One important
technology is application and desktop sharing, allowing one person to view what
another person is doing on a remote machine. For CAD and product visualization
applications product that supports OpenGL graphics is required. Another
common application is Data sharing via Web based portals.
