Enterprise Engineer is a suite of configurable business applications that manage engineering content and the business processes that use this content. The software supports the engineering process by providing a single point of controlled access to manage the production and use of project content, such as drawings, correspondence, procedures and specifications, throughout an asset's lifecycle.

Extending the capabilities of the EMC Documentum platform, Enterprise Engineer accommodates the complexity of engineering content and associated business processes. By connecting engineering and the enterprise, it reduces costs; reduces the risk of non-compliance and lost production; improves efficiency and communication, and accelerates project execution.
