BUSINESS MEMO: GENERAL MOTORS

General Motors has completed a worldwide upgrade of its corporate CAD/CAM and PDM software as part of its ongoing program to dramatically reduce vehicle development process times.

This new technology upgrade will provide both GM and its global suppliers the ability to implement a total systems engineering approach to vehicle design, significantly reducing the time needed to complete the entire process.

Unigraphics Solutions Inc. provides end-to-end CAD/CAM/CAE/PDM software and related services designed to improve its customers' command of product development.

The company provides tools appropriate to a collaborative engineering environment, converting ideas into easily shared concepts used to develop products of varying complexity such as motor vehicles, aircraft, heavy equipment and consumer goods and the parts that comprise them.
