Calculation Management Captures and Tracks Engineering Design Information

Virtually every design decision, from a simple sketch to complex system drawings, is informed by calculations. Yet, in the race to get projects completed and products and services to market, engineering and product development organizations often neglect to systematically track engineering methods and values. Calculations today are most often performed by hand, on calculators, in spreadsheets, by word-processing programs, or with mathematical software. Results are scattered on desks, personal hard drives, document management systems, and in file cabinets.
