The materials industry has never been more competitive. Margins are tight, customer requirements are increasingly demanding, and materials are being pushed to the limits of their performance. New legislation on restricted substances and new environmental initiatives in manufacturing present additional challenges—but also opportunities to the materials producer who can respond quickly with the appropriate declarations and advice.
Every department of a materials producing organization generates and consumes materials information: from customer datasheets to marketing brochures, from raw test data to simulation models. This information must be controlled, searchable, up-to-date and usually delivered in a multitude of different formats to the people who need it—both internally and by customers.
Your materials information is your greatest asset—Granta helps you control and apply it to give you the best possible competitive advantage in the marketplace.
