Manufacturing: Endeca for Manufacturing

Endeca for Manufacturing

Managing a complex global supply chain is not easy. And the way today’s global manufacturers are forced to interact with and gain insight from their mission-critical data assets doesn’t help. The data required to manage the business is strewn across ERP, PLM, CRM, and other enterprise systems often trapped in functional silos. The data is complex, of very large scale, and in various formats, both structured and semi-structured. And the data changes rapidly and unpredictably. On top of all this, business users such engineers, procurement managers, and even customers, have no intuitive and flexible way to interact with the data to answer every day, yet critical, decisions.

The goal seems simple – information visibility which allows all users to gain insight from the data and make better decisions. This is exactly the challenge Endeca has addressed for leading global manufacturers such as John Deere, Boeing, Raytheon, Harris Corporation, and Ford Motor Company.

Endeca's Information Access Platform for Manufacturing allows design engineers to identify parts with full visibility to all critical selection criteria. Sourcing professionals can influence design engineers' selection criteria, as well as analyze all aggregate spend across suppliers, parts, regions, and programs. Warranty professionals can immediately analyze return/repair data with an intuitive and flexible interface. Sales and Marketing can better promote their products on the corporate website/storefront.

The benefits of improved information visibility extend to all core business processes which rely on human discretion and better decision making. All provided on a platform that supports a suite of solutions built with today's most complex manufacturing environments in mind.
