Transform Manifesto Principle #7: End Duplicative Work. Create Reusable Data Objects
Data contained in documents must be available as authoritative and reusable data objects. Otherwise, engineers will continue to duplicate the same tasks over and over, the world over!
Transform Manifesto Principle #6: AI Can be Used Intelligently but Responsibly to Derive Insights from Engineering Data
AI is a scalable enabler of insights that can make humans more efficient and help companies reduce cost, time, and errors. But we must recognize AI’s limits and apply it carefully with clear validation – so you can trust the results 100% of the time.
Transform Manifesto Principle #5: APIs Deliver Data to the Point of Need
Engineering professionals don’t want to learn another application, visit another “workbench”, or modify their existing workflow; they want actionable intelligence delivered into their existing applications. APIs can make that happen.
Transform Manifesto Principle #4: Engineering Data Should be Machine-Readable
In the not too distant future, machines – not humans – will be the primary consumers of engineering information. Let’s get ready.
Transform Manifesto Principle #3: Interoperability Everywhere
Aren’t you tired of too much silo-hopping?? Engineering data should be interoperable across IP owners, users, and software applications.
Transform Manifesto Principle #2: Single Source of Truth
Engineering data should be connected to a single authoritative source of truth, with changes communicated to all. That’s the real power of the digital thread.
Transform Manifesto Principle #1: Documents and Content Are Out. Data and Context Are In.
By turning documents into data, we can identify, extract, and deliver the contextual and actionable intelligence that users need to make better decisions faster. This is the first in a series about the principles of the Transform Manifesto. If you want to start at the...
The Digital Transformation Manifesto
Engineers do too much manual labor, which takes too much time, and produces too many errors. It's time for a paradigm shift. Engineering documents have largely been left behind in the wider quest for digital transformation, but as more companies are seeing...
2024 Procurement Landscape Updates
As the new government fiscal year is underway, we’re tracking several acquisition policy issues and opportunities that may impact your public sector sales strategy. The Federal government has been running on a series of continuing resolutions (CRs) since the...
GSA FCP Transition in Full Swing
If you hold a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract, you’ll want to pay attention to updates on the on-going rollout of the Federal Acquisition Service Catalog Platform (FCP). The new platform provides a modern framework for suppliers to provide Contracting...
The Future of Fair and Reasonable Pricing Policy
In public procurement, pricing decisions are governed by the ‘Fair and Reasonable’ litmus test; however, procurement regulations (i.e., the FAR) don’t explicitly define ‘Fair and Reasonable’. While buyers and sellers likely have different ideas about what constitutes...
GSA Commercial Platform Program Update
In 2020, GSA (in partnership with OMB) awarded three commercial eMarketplace contracts to Amazon Business, Fisher Scientific, and Overstock Government. These contracts enable government purchase card holders to buy commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) items through...

Actionable Intelligence for Selling to the Government (aka “How to Boost Your Government Sales”)
Every government supplier — small, medium, or large — can improve their sales by better understanding how the government’s purchasing system works and optimizing their selling strategies. This post shows you how.
“SynthAI” Will Make the Difference in Engineering Industries
Generative AI is all the rage for its prolific content creation abilities. But in technical environments, more is not always better. "SynthAI" digests massive amounts of information and distills it to what you need to know. We recently read this interesting view...
The Digital Thread for Engineering Requirements
“Digital thread” is probably a term you’ve heard many times, but it’s not always clear what it means, and often has different nuanced definitions depending on the industry. In this quick primer, we’ll define the digital thread and then focus on one way to make your...
