Four Decades of Engineering Data: The Formtek Story
Every engineering organization eventually runs into the same problem: how do you keep decades of critical technical information like drawings, models, specifications, and revisions organized, secure, and usable as the tools around it keep changing? It’s a problem Formtek has…
Formtek Blog: 20 Years of Engineering Data Management and Technology History
The Formtek Blog began in January 2006. More than 20 years and roughly 5,260 posts later, it has covered an enormous range of ground: data management, open source software, enterprise software, security, artificial intelligence, ethics, alternative energy, and dozens of…
The Future Is Federated: Engineering Data in a Mesh, Not a Monolith
The way organizations manage engineering data is changing from a single, central repository to a flexible, interconnected system. Instead of every document or model living in one database, federated content models connect multiple sources into a cooperative network. In this…
Governance Isn’t a Nuisance — It’s Engineering Discipline at Scale
Good governance in engineering might not be exciting, but it is every bit as necessary as tightening bolts to the right torque. Ignoring it risks far more than paperwork delays. Governance defines how data is retained, accessed, and verified throughout…
Engineering Data in the Wild: How to Manage Content at the Edge
Field engineers often work in places where network connections are patchy, systems are disconnected, and work happens under unpredictable conditions. In some ways, they resemble wildlife photographers, capturing rare and valuable data under pressure. The challenge is making sure those…
