How is Industry Benefiting from STEP?



STEP Success StoriesAt Lockheed Martin, STEP is being used in

production for streamlined data exchange with suppliers

Boeing is using STEP in production today for digital pre-assembly on the 777-300, and 767X; also on the C-17 to exchange configuration management data

STEP comprises over 25% of IBM’s global e-procurement design data exchange

Electric Boat uses STEP as their data exchange method of choice


STEP Success Stories(cont.)

Ford uses STEP as a core component in their application integration architecture

Pratt & Whitney is using STEP in aircraft engine production with Boeing

Delphi Automotive Systems uses STEP in production to translate customer product data

BAE SYSTEMS is currently implementing STEP on the Eurofighter Typhoon for product data management exchange

NASA has adopted STEP for data exchange
