From Infrastructure to Innovation: Redefining the Role of Information Technology in Digital Engineering

Engineering and product development are undergoing rapid change, driven by advances in artificial intelligence (AI), multiphysics simulation, and data-centric design. To stay competitive, organizations must deliver better products faster and more efficiently — a transformation that demands access to the latest tools and scalable high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. For IT organizations, this evolution demands a strategic rethink of infrastructure to support dynamic workloads, new delivery models, and rigorous governance, security, and cost controls. This paper examines how IT leaders can modernize their engineering environments to deliver measurable business value with Altair One®, a cloud gateway that unifies access to software, collaboration tools, and scalable HPC infrastructure in a single, integrated platform.
