Aerospace and Defense Solutions
In 2005, Aerospace and Defense companies spent more than an astounding $12 billion on Research and Development. In an industry that relies on its ability to plan for technologies and market needs up to 30 years in the future, the Aerospace and Defense industry faces many complex and unique challenges.
Not only are the products themselves extremely complex, there are dynamics of multi-year product development cycles, the need to integrate new technologies into products and programs, and the involvement of multiple suppliers throughout the process. By working with Alignment Software, many of the world's leading Aerospace and Defense companies have improved the
R&D process and shortened development cycles.

Industry Use Case
One of the world's largest commercial Aerospace and Defense manufacturers was looking to leverage platform technology across multiple business units and products.
With the help of Alignent's roadmapping software and consulting team, the company was able to identify how it could integrate technologies it had already developed into multiple products and development projects company-wide.
Today, by sharing technology roadmaps across the company, the global organization has both greater visibility into
R&D, and ensures tight communications across disparate business units spanning 145 countries.
The company has reduced product development costs by millions of dollars, improved coordination with key suppliers, provided greater insight into new technologies under development, and visually mapped capabilities across the company.
