Abstract: Recently, the traditional
method of selecting software based on functions and features has come under scrutiny. Some even suggest that this
method is unduly drawn out and fails to focus on the critical processes of business. As you might expect, vendors would rather sell you out-of-the-box business processes and solutions that would improve efficiency, increase yields, and drive their costs down. A third alternative for selecting software, which will be discussed in this article, attempts to provide the assurances needed by the buyer and the efficiency desired by the vendor.

Shift your product development paradigm with digital engineering tools.
