I-DEAS (Integrated Design and Engineering Analysis Software), a computer-aided design software package. It was originally produced by SDRC in 1982. [1] I-DEAS was used primarily in the automotive industry, [1] most notably by Ford Motor Company (who standardized on the program [2] ) and by General Motors. [1] SDRC was bought in 2001 by its competitor, Electronic Data Systems, which had also acquired UGS Corp. (maker of Unigraphics). [1] EDS merged these two products into NX. [3] UGS was purchased by Siemens AG in May 2007, and was renamed Siemens PLM Software, now known as Siemens Digital Industries Software.[ citation needed ]
