Introduction

The accurate, efficient, and secure use of materials information is essential to engineering enterprises. Yet few have successfully implemented robust systems to ensure best practice in capturing, controlling, and using such data.

GRANTA MI is the world's leading system for materials information management. It is built to handle all of the demands and peculiarities of materials data. It creates a single corporate information resource, capturing and enriching data from in-house testing and design, proprietary sources, and external references. For materials experts, GRANTA MI provides tools to analyze and maintain this data and to certify and publish approved information in a secure and controlled manner. Engineers and other professionals then access the information that they need within their routine workflows, assured that it is relevant, traceable, and the best available.

The Material Data Management Consortium (MDMC) is a collaborative project of world-leading organizations, established to identify and solve the key practical challenges limiting best practice in managing materials data. The MDMC and our other enterprise customers guide Granta's development of GRANTA MI.
