Engineering information management
open-in-new
<p>Engineering information management (EIM) is the business function within <a href="/facts/Product_development/ogcXTIco">product development</a> and specifically <a href="/facts/Systems_engineering/gFwRmkDp">systems engineering</a> that allows engineers to collaborate on a <a href="/facts/Single_source_of_truth/uXqMNxcz">single source of truth</a> of engineering data. </p><p>Contrary to <a href="/facts/Product_data_management/9ATPbmAz">product data management</a> (PDM) and <a href="/facts/Product_lifecycle_management/G3U6gtBv">product lifecycle management</a> (PLM), its main purpose is not storage of <a href="/facts/CAD/5gSXrmmN">CAD</a>-related drawings and files, but rather the full execution of the <a href="/facts/V-model/BI5sYz27">V-model</a> for hardware development, complementing and integrating to the above mentioned systems. </p>
