The Importance of Collaborative Product Development
Doing collaborative product development across the supply
chain …. (is) becoming as important, if not more important
than the logistics and production supply chain.
As companies increasingly outsource manufacturing, the
same partners that produce parts or components for a
product are being delegated responsibility to participate in
the design of those parts and components”
From CIMdata, Measuring PLM's Business Value, September 2003

The Importance of Collaborative Product Development
What is clear, however, is that best-in-class companies –
those that most frequently hit their product development
targets for revenue, cost, and quality – are actively pursuing
collaboration […].
Furthermore, they have more frequently automated their
collaboration processes with PLM tools that incorporate or
enable collaboration across the product lifecycle.
From Aberdeen Group, The Product Lifecycle Collaboration Benchmark
Report – The Product Profitability “X Factor”?, June 2006

Customer’s Pain Points in Product Development
Classical collaboration via email, phone, fax, and mail is
more likely to be error-prone
Classical collaboration requires a lot of face-to-face
meetings and travel
With classical collaboration, the consistency of data is
not reliable
Classical collaboration supports, in most cases, only
unstructured data
Classical collaboration is not able to manage the access
of external parties to product data in a secure and
economic way

Reasons Why Collaboration May Fail
I did not receive the most
recent version!
I did not find the relevant
information!
The document was deleted
by somebody!
I did not know whom
to forward the information!

On the SAP PLM Application Map (based on business processes)
cFolders belongs to the business process Development Collaboration.
The business process Development Collaboration focuses on cross-
company collaboration on product data (technical documents & product
structure information) during product development and sourcing.
The business process Development Collaboration & cFolders is also
part of the SAP ERP offering and belongs to the process group Product
Development on the my SAP ERP Solution Map
(see http://service.sap.com/erp)
