Product Development Integration Framework (PDIF) helps you accelerate your deployment of best practices in product development and to collaborate across applications and people. PDIF is a collection of IBM SOA and business partner assets, services and data models that support standards-based integration of product development applications and management of their associated business process across the extended enterprise.
PDIF is the basis for solutions such as: design chain management, requirements engineering and management, program and portfolio management, mechanical, electrical and software development, and systems engineering. PDIF helps manufacturers to synchronize data and processes across a complex supply chain of development and manufacturing partners, reducing the time and complexity associated with bringing innovative products to market.
