"We decreased the time spent searching for data by 20% and shared our data with the other side of the world"
Denis O'Keeffe, Engineering Manager, Logitech.
Logitech designs, manufactures and markets personal peripherals that enable people to effectively work, communicate, and play in the digital world. The company's products combine essential core technologies, continuing innovation, award-winning industrial design and excellent price performance.
Controlling the Data that drives this innovative product design and development was the challenge addressed by Honeycomb Solutions. Working with Logitech and understanding the business requirements involved, the company has gained control over the data relevant to a product across its development lifecycle. Honeycomb Solutions engagement with Logitech, connected dispersed teams in Ireland for design to Taiwan for manufacturing, and ensured that all stakeholders work from the same dataset. This enabled highly flexible concurrent engineering in compressed cycle times, not just in Cork but on shared projects between Cork and Taiwan, thus reducing costly errors, and reducing total project costs. Logitech has now more time to improve product quality and drive innovation. This is indicated by the number of successful product launches from the premium team located in Cork, in 2005 they released a record 16.
The latest engagement between Honeycomb Solutions and Logitech is an extension of the above project across a products entire lifecycle.
In 2006, Logitech is celebrating 25 years of innovative design. The company introduced more than 130 new products in that fiscal year.
