Benefits of EIM
Increase profits through reduced errors Reduce time-to-market through reusable
designs Reduce time-to-market through in-process
change-impact analysis Continuously improve through “corporate
memory” – what and why More profits through better designs Broaden innovation base to reduce
competitive risks Integrated outsourcing while reducing IP
losses
