Design from anywhere: the promise of mobile computing for design engineers
Design engineers today, are facing a new set of pressures: there is a fundamental shift from designing single purpose products to creating solutions.
How do you build resiliency in your supply chain? In a world where constant change is the norm, AI is emerging as a powerful differentiator that is helping organizations sustain operations on a global scale.

It’s the time of year again, when industry leaders from around the world pack their bags and travel to Hannover, Germany from April 13-17 for one of the world’s largest industrial fairs of the year: Hannover Messe 2015.
In today’s mobile-first world, cloud technology on our mobile devices has clearly transformed our personal lives. On the business side of things, a recent Harvard Business Review study sponsored by Microsoft, where manufacturers were among the top three industry respondents, found that cloud, mobile, big data and social technologies are also having a positive impact.
Earlier this week, I held a webcast with our manufacturing customers to share ideas about how they can better design for customers’ needs.
As we know, one of the biggest ways manufacturers can continue to innovate and stay ahead is through their data. An IDC survey, commissioned by Microsoft, showed that the manufacturing industry has the most to gain—a whopping $371 billion— from big data’s potential.
It’s an exciting time to be in the automotive industry. Technology innovations connected by the Internet of Things (IoT) have now made it possible for automakers to truly revolutionize how they engage with consumers, changing the relationship between them and with the car itself.
Well, it’s a little more than a month after the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Convention and Expo 2015, which brought in more than 23,000 people from 53 different countries.
Industrial manufacturers are certainly recognizing the urgency to do more with their data. In a recent global study from GE and Accenture across eight industrial sectors, 66 percent of surveyed executives believe they could lose their market position in the next one to three years if they do not adopt big data, and 88 percent reported that big data analytics is a top priority for their business.
Last month, we talked about the transformation of the industrial technology platform and discussed that by connecting smart products and using big data, customer analytics, and social technologies, manufacturers are gaining a deeper understanding about how customers are using their products.
At the very beginning it was pure adventure! Lonesome riders, heading towards where the sun goes down. Mavericks, with their own rules, rebels, free to make a living their own way. Yeah, the Wild West was a time of freedom – not necessarily fun, but opportunities everywhere, endless land and resources. A playground where wildcatters started their way becoming oil barons and roughnecks shaped today’s idea of a tough guy.
The connected-car experience is the future of the automotive industry. It’s changing the relationship between automakers and their customers and offering new revenue streams for manufacturers.
Today’s Office 365 post was written by Dr. Matthias Geselle, a Vice President, member of the IT leadership team at Merck.
