Document management systems (DMS) are increasingly becoming an important tool for managing blueprints, designs, and technical documentation. With cloud capabilities and features such as document versioning and collaboration tools, DMS’s help organizations manage the creation, storage, retrieval, and sharing of documents in a secure manner. They enable teams to collaborate on projects by providing access to relevant documents with just a few clicks, as well as allowing them to quickly access documents from anywhere. Additionally, with easy document organization capabilities, users can easily search and find the right documents for their tasks without having to spend time sifting through a massive database of files — perfect for engineers that are working on time-sensitive projects.

Post-pandemic supply issues continue to plague most car dealers, causing extreme shortages of inventory across the country. In many cases, cars are completed, but sit on manufacturing lots, waiting for microchips, leaving showroom floors and car lots with little inventory to choose from. Of course, customers could try to custom order a new model, but those weight times are extraordinary, with some brands and models taking up to one year to be delivered to dealers.

The size of the average engineering team is growing this year, with some reports noting a potential 79% increase in team size in 2022. Of course, this team expansion will bring with it the need for better communication and collaboration between team members as well as the need for optimized productivity. Engineering leaders understand this, which is why the focus of more than a third of them is to improve operations, processes, and tooling. In fact, ensuring that teams are focused on mission-critical work is essential for heightened performance and managers are targeting technologies that can contribute positively to this goal.

Many nonprofits were hard hit by the pandemic, especially those that did not have large reserves of capital upon which to lean. As they move toward recovery, nonprofits are realizing that the member landscape has shifted and there is a new climate when it comes to generating needed funds. Smaller donors are less able than ever to be able to offer support, but our culture is becoming more focused on the things that nonprofits provide — value-focused services to underserved communities.

Data capture and its associated technologies — barcodes, QR codes, RFID, and others — are critical pieces of the data gathering process that is intrinsically valuable to all businesses. However, the world of logistics — from manufacturing floors to warehousing, distribution centers, transportation hubs and more — is particularly well-served by strong data capture and handling techniques.
