Industrial Manufacturing Solutions
In 2005, Industrial Manufacturers spent more than $18 billion on Research and Development. Today, Industrial Manufacturers are increasingly looking to get more out of
R&D, and focusing on better ways to innovate to drive growth to the bottom line.
Yet, hardworking
R&D teams may be investing time and money in the wrong projects; coming up with new technologies and manufacturing products that won't yield the impact companies are seeking. Manufacturers want to leverage the company's
R&D strengths, while aligning the right resources with the right strategic priorities for growth.

Industry Use Case
One of Alignent's customers—a $25 billion industrial manufacturing giant—wanted to gain visibility into
R&D efforts across its different automotive, chemical and security divisions. The company needed to break down cross-functional "silos" and allow business units to communicate, collaborate and innovate on products in a purposeful, coordinated way.
With the help of Alignent's roadmapping software, the client has been able to make this goal a reality. Today, the company has greater visibility into
R&D projects, better coordination across divisions and functional teams, and the ability to eliminate projects not aligned to customer needs or strategic growth objectives.
As a result, the customer has been able to cut product development times by up to 10% through access to more accurate and timely information. "We now have fewer starts and stops on projects and a better understanding of how ever-changing
R&D projects relate to our goals."
