Information system is used in marketing and management that help automate some sales and sales force management functions. SFA system, typically a part of a company's customer relationship management system, is a system that automatically records all the stages in a sales process.

Is a computer software system used to manage and coordinate all the resources, information, and functions of a business from shared data stores. ERP delivers a single database that contains all data for the software modules, which would include: manufacturing, supply chain management, finances, project management, human resources, data warehouses, etc.

Integrates internal and external management information. ERP systems automate this activity with an integrated software application. Facilitate the flow of information between all business functions

An integrated system that operates in real time (or next to real time), without relying on periodic updates. A common database, which supports all applications. A consistent look and feel throughout each module

Automotive design is the profession involved in the development of the appearance, of motor vehicles or more specifically road vehicles.

Automotive design in this context is primarily concerned with developing the visual appearance or aesthetics of the vehicle, though it is also involved in the creation of the product concept.

The task of the design is split into 3 main aspects: exterior design, interior design, and color and trim design. CAD and CATIA are the two main software's used in designing process .

Computer-aided Design

CAD also known CADD, is the use of computer technology for the process of design and designdocumentation.

CADD software, or environments, provides the user with input-tools for the purpose of streamlining design processes; drafting, documentation, and manufacturing processes.

CAD may be used to design curves and figures in two-dimensional (2D) space; or curves, surfaces, and solids in three-dimensional (3D) objects.

ample for 2D CAD drawing

Example for 3D CAD model

CAD has the ability to design the complex vehicles in less time.

Designers and engineers have to be fluent and proficient in at least three of the many complex CAD systems.

Here are just a few used by GM, Ford , Chrysler, Toyota, Hyundai, BAE Systems and their suppliers:
 Unigraphics (UGNX5)  Catia-V5

Supported operating systems and platforms:

CATIA V3 and earlier run on the mainframe platforms. CATIA V4 is supported for the Unix and IBM MVS and VM/CMS mainframe platforms up to release 1.7.

CATIA V5 runs on Microsoft Windows (both 32-bit and 64bit), and as of Release 18 Service Pack 4 on Windows Vista 64. IBM AIX, Hewlett Packard HP-UX and Sun Microsystems Solaris are supported.

CATIA V6 runs only on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS with limited products.

Many automotive companies use CATIA to varying degrees, including BMW, Porsche, Daimler AG, Chrysler, Honda, Audi, Volkswagen etc.

Some uses it in making tires for automotive and aerospace and also uses a customized CATIA for its design and development.

Back in the 70 s, vehicle emission systems were crude and mechanical. By the 90 s, engine management computers take over.

Airbags can be traced back to the 60 s but only became viable with electronic controls. ABS, Traction control and Stability control are other examples.

In the 1930s, radios in cars or telephones in cars were unheard of. Early Satellite Navigation Systems not user friendly. Pioneers voice recognition idea in 1996 market reaction was non-existent.
