Way Forward dependent on the ‘Information Type’ For each type, choose from following Suggested Options: Use De-Facto Industry Standards Use International ISO Standards to save information in Neutral Formats For example STEP, PLCS Migrate all Archived information into New Application Versions Archive in Original Format together with Application and Platform Archive in Original Format with recognition of Future Re-Engineering Paper Back-Up Others? Must also consider information stored in PDM Not able to ‘Bulk’ load to new tool version as ‘Change to Product Build Standard’
