For many sectors in industry and government, engineering excellence
is at the core of staying competitive. Mathcad Enterprise removes barriers
to engineering efficiency through management of a key corporate asset:
engineering calculations.
The success of many of our leading industries and public sector organisations
is based on engineering innovation. But how many of them can honestly
claim that they make best use of their prized intellectual assets?
Calculations
are at the heart of the engineering excellence that ensures your organisation
is competitive. Engineers compute product parameters, analyse test
data, predict product and system performance over a lifetime.
But
in many enterprises, these critical calculations are not managed. Individual
engineers choose their own tools: they
may work out important calculations on the back of an envelope, they
may use calculators or error-prone spreadsheets, they may write their
own ad hoc programs or use a multiplicity of off-the-shelf
software packages.
Many hours of work may be scattered around, in notebooks
and ring binders, stuffed into filing cabinets, stored in obscurely
named files on personal hard drives. The thought processes and inspirational
thinking behind much of your most vital intellectual property may not
be recorded anywhere: they're in the heads of long-departed colleagues.
So if something goes
wrong, or when something needs improving, you're faced with many costly
hours of re-work – to say nothing of the
risk that a crucial piece of information may be misplaced, wrongly assigned
or simply forgotten.
Mathcad Enterprise offers the means to safeguard
your critical calculation resources. It lets you standardise on the
most popular calculation-based engineering software. It promotes a standard
template for progressing calculation-based work - a document where
all the underlying assumptions, all the sub-calculations, all the data
and all the methods are recorded automatically and clearly verifiable.
All your engineering calculations and projects are safely stored in a
centralised, secure, managed repository.

Risk and Increasing Productivity for Engineering-Based Enterprises".
