The Aerospace and Defense (A&D) industry has been going through gradual and persistent transformation as a result of ever changing global demand patterns. While A&D has always been a complex environment in which to operate, the current economic downturn, as well as ongoing mergers and acquisitions have presented a unique set of challenges for the industry.
Subcontractors are frequently finding themselves in the prime contractor role; government oversight is growing in intensity; cost pressures are on the rise; and profit margins continue to erode. As a result of these organizational challenges and uncertain markets, A&D organizations need to focus on improving product innovation, time to market, customer service, as well as risk management and compliance, in order to be successful. Many A&D companies struggle with the ability to meet these needs based on a variety of process and infrastructure related issues, including data housed in disparate applications.
