THE STATE OF SOFTWARE-DEFINED PRODUCT ENGINEERING IN 2025
The Engineering Intelligence Index 2025 examines how engineers are navigating the growing complexity of software-defined products. Based on survey data from engineering leaders across manufacturing industries in the US and Europe, the report provides a fact-based overview of current challenges, costs, operational and technology needs, AI-readiness, and emerging practices in engineering.
What’s inside the report
- How engineering leaders are responding to the unprecedented complexity and cost pressure of software-defined products
- The factors causing the engineering productivity gap
- The underlying data problem in core engineering workflows
- Where engineering leaders see the biggest potential
