Improve supply chain collaboration while reducing the risk of losing sensitive information.
In this age of outsourcing, manufacturers must share sensitive information with partners and suppliers worldwide. As companies share such information with a broader audience, however, the risk of losing or compromising sensitive information increases. Adobe helps manufacturers better leverage their existing applications to more effectively and securely collaborate about product designs, project plans, costing estimates, pricing, manufacturing processes, repair procedures, and other sensitive information. Companies can now easily communicate product changes to all stakeholders, maintain the security of sensitive information outside the firewall, improve people-centric process, and reduce dependency on paper to deliver richer collaboration to all partners in the supply chain.
