"Knowledge management solutions, such as the one UGS is announcing today, represent a significant opportunity to help R and D organisations in the consumer products and life sciences industries improve their product innovation processes", said Jim Brown, vice president Global Product Innovation and Engineering, Aberdeen Group.
"Our benchmark research indicates that protecting intellectual property and retaining company knowledge are significant challenges in today's global product development environment".
"It also indicates that companies that are best in class at product development are four times more likely to use PLM solutions".

"The incorporation of laboratory notebook technology into PLM is a logical extension to PLM software, and promises to extend its benefits to R and D organisations".
UGS' new Research Knowledge Management (RKM) solution will be released later this year as a core module of Teamcenter software, the world's most widely used PLM portfolio.
RKM development began in the global research laboratory at P and G as a way to create an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) that could be easily shared and stored in searchable records-bases.
Working closely together, P and G helped UGS define requirements and add new capabilities to its existing Teamcenter collaboration solution.
As a result, the new Teamcenter RKM offering will enable scientists to quickly determine if a particular experiment has already been conducted by a colleague and, if so, allow them to easily view the results and conclusions.
By eliminating the need to repeat experiments that have already been done to satisfaction, organisations can save a very significant amount of time, enabling scientists to proceed to the next innovation.
The underlying technology for Teamcenter RKM required rigorous evaluation and scrutiny and customer reference screening before being selected as the Best PLM System for Process R and D and Manufacturing.
