WAKEFIELD, Mass. - (Business Wire) RuleStream Corporation, leading provider of standards-based engineering (SBE) solutions to capture, manage and reuse engineering knowledge, today announced that it has been named to the START-IT 125 list for the third year in a row. RuleStream was honored for its consistent delivery of innovative SBE solutions to leading industrial manufacturing companies.
RuleStream continued to gain momentum on many fronts, including ongoing enhancements to its innovative SBE solutions. The company recently added several large best-in-class manufacturers of industrial machinery and equipment to its client base. These clients use RuleStream to capture key engineering knowledge, creating actionable standards that drive improved quality, automate time-sensitive processes and preserve the know-how of their best engineers.
RuleStream also continues to form and strengthen relationships with key manufacturing software providers. The flexible nature of RuleStream’s software lends itself to deep, bi-directional integrations with CAD, ERP and other critical enterprise software.
“To remain competitive in today’s global manufacturing environment, companies need to shorten new product introduction cycles. Aberdeen benchmarks show that this is complicated by many issues, including regulatory and quality compliance, pressure to reduce costs, a shortage of skilled workers and the global nature of product development teams,” said Jim Brown, VP and Group Director, Product Innovation, Engineering and Manufacturing Research at Aberdeen Group. "Aberdeen research has found that companies using technologies such as those provided by RuleStream are able to address many product development challenges and achieve much higher profit margins."
"START-IT’s continued recognition as a technology leader highlights RuleStream’s commitment to harnessing intellectual property to bring increased value to product development environments,” said Robert Nierman, CEO of RuleStream. "RuleStream continues to be at the forefront of innovative standards-based engineering solutions. RuleStream’s flexible, scalable solutions, spanning the sales, engineering and manufacturing processes, have remained key drivers of manufacturing firms’ growth and productivity.”
