It will be described by illustrating an example that represents a typical scenario: the company needs to interact with an external partner such as an outsourcee to carry out a design. The DAVE team sits at the heart of the system. Let's say that one of its members, Bob, starts the new design according to the product's requirements. He takes care of part of the schematics and sets up the PCB project by choosing the number of layers, manufacturing technologies, dimensions, etc.
The components that Bob instantiates on the schematics are retrieved from a ''[https://www.altium.com/documentation/altium-designer/building-maintaining-components-libraries-overview database library]'' according to Altium nomencalturenomenclature. This library contains the '''components defined and qualified as per DAVE Embedded Systems' procedures'''. As such, these components are also linked to the ERP database so that they '''embed vital information for the manufacturing process ''' like DAVE code, manufacturer part number, type, etc.
At first, Bob stores saves the project files onto on a local storage device that is part on the DAVE's internal IT infrastructure. Later on, he needs to share the project with Mallory, an external contractor located in the UK who helps Bob to speed up the design. The project is shared through Altium 365.
