scaffolds: go social with engineering products on the cloud

scaffolds offers a simple, easy and intuitive social approach to engineering products that makes "engineering fun." Through the concept of "Product Social Profile" it brings information from various sources to help Engineers develop and build better products. This approach benefits engineering enterprises in many ways: - Offers efficient ways to leverage existing work-flows and business processes to coordinate product and program changes efficiently - Provides Users configuration flexibility that allows all Program, Product and Process Attributes to be easily modified and fine-tuned - Facilitates management of large amounts of data coming from multiple sources (such as Job Status, Time-in-System) and avoids the need for Beaters and Trackers - Enables domain-specific global collaboration more easily with Industry Experts by making them and their best practice knowledge more accessible using various social collaboration and interaction mechanisms - Provides increased visibility into product program processes via metrics (such as Cost Variance and Change History, Aging on Deliverable, Open Issues) for easily spotting and managing bottlenecks and inefficiencies
