More technologically advanced products require more components and more coordination to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legacy development consists of silos and manual processes whereas digitization breaks down the silos and integrates teams across the product lifecycle. But, to develop a <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/video-streamline-collaboration-between-electronics-and-mechanical-teams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digitalization strategy<\/a> to manage the capacity problems that come with complex products, organizations must have a foundational framework.
