Daewoo: faster product design
and time to market
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine
Engineering (DSME) is the worlds
second-largest marine vessel
manufacturer. Building oil-drilling
rigs, submarines and ships requires
collaboration among 2,000 local
designers, plus 1,800 more from
affiliated companies. The
inefficiencies and costs of
maintaining the hardware and
software required by this army of
builders were considerablebut
when the company prepared to
make the transition from 2D to 3D
computer-aided design (CAD)
modeling, it seized the opportunity
to rethink its IT strategy with Citrix.
XenApp with HDX 3D Pro
technology helped Daewoo
increase security and protect
proprietary data. By doubling the
number of employees who can
work simultaneously on a given CAD
project, the company has shortened
design and product launch time
frames, while reducing annual IT
expenses by almost $1 million.

setsail for smooth collaboration.
Tomorrows winners will be those companies that are able to
capitalize on new systems and ways of doing business. Above all,
powerful new IT solutions can enable manufacturers to create
new efficiencies, protect their most valuable assetinformation
and find sustainable success in a rapidly changing sector.
Manufacturing at a crossroads
Manufacturing, a $10 trillion1
industry, is facing
new challenges driven by global economic
change. Internationalization and the rise of
newtechnologies have both enriched and
complicated manufacturing operations. Several
trends in particular are placing new burdens
onmanufacturing leaders around the globe:
Workforce demographics are changing, as are
workers habits and workplace expectations.
Data access and sharing have emerged as key
opportunities for growthand potential
barriers to productivity.
Compliance and security issues are growing
increasingly critical.
Internationalization and geopolitical issues
add complexity to operations.
The arrival of the Internet of Things will
provide amazing new opportunities but
demand new IT infrastructures.
Design and 3D applications are exponentially
more powerfuland resource intensive
creating a need to refresh operating systems
and hardware.
In order to address these new challenges,
manufacturers need to make smart investments
that bring sustainable benefits. Nowhere is this
more evident than in IT, since it is the foundation
for nearly every facet of manufacturing.
You cant just sit back and
waitfor your current strategy
for innovation to start driving
growth; you must begin
transforming the strategy
ifyouexpect to remain
competitive in the new world

italso provided additional security for
company-related components and
amore useful division between
personal and work data. Today, with
its flexible BYOD approach in place,
Renault is looking to build a powerful
social networking platform to
improve collaboration even further.
