Product Lifecycle Management demands to integrate all engineering data of a product or service in order to provide full traceability of dependencies between information of different types and from various sources. Current Product Data Management solutions set the focus mainly on data representing physical items. Version Management applications originating from software engineering environments are frequently used also for storing systems engineering data. However, this data management landscape is not adequate for the central role of systems engineering driving both, the development of physical system elements and of system elements implemented by software. This paper describes how all product data may be integrated with adequately emphasizing the role of systems engineering. It is based on principles EADS is establishing for an EADS‐wide standardized but versatile approach appropriate for the wide range of products and services offered by the EADS Divisions Airbus, Astrium, Cassidian and Eurocopter. Currently the defined and agreed concepts are further progressed and implemented.
