automotive R&D systems environments

[Ged1962]

I will shortly be speaking to a vehicle manufacturer about network services. In preparation, I would like to familiarise myself with the systems environments - design, plm, pdm etc - that automotive designers and engineers typically work in. I would be very grateful if any eng-tips readers could find 15 mins to educate me on the subject. Please let me know.

Oh-la, this is not a tiny thing to describe.
a start could be this about PLM in general:
