Hello.
I often hear the phrase “Single Source of Truth“, when introducing the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

What is “Single Source of Truth”?
What are the benefits of “Single Source of Truth”?

Let’s have a look at the concept of “Single Source of Truth” (centralized management of information).
What is “Single Source of Truth” (centralized management of information)?
- Concepts used to ensure that everyone in an organization makes business decisions based on the same data.

However, the current situation is the opposite in many companies, in brief, information is managed from multiple sources (Data Silos).

I see!
At our company, a lot of information is managed from multiple sources by department.
![NSS](https://www.nss.co.th/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/animal_panda-150x150.png)
In such situations, the following problems typically occur:
How about your company?
~ Demerit of (Data Silos) ~
- Various decision making takes time (delays business)
- (Reason Increased man-hours such as data collection and aggregation.
- (Reason Information is low unreliable.
- (Reason) The same information (data and documents) is scattered in multiple locations.
- (Reason) Even if the information is updated, the other information remains outdated, causing information inconsistency.

I See…

On the other hand, these problems can be expected to be resolved by centralizing information management.
~ Merit of Single Source of Truth ~
- Accelerate decision-making and innovation.
- (Reason) Significantly reduces man-hours such as data collection and aggregation, improving work efficiency.
- (Reason) Highly reliable information.
- (Reason) Only one the same information (data or document) exists.
- (Reason) Everyone always has access to only the latest information.

By the way, our company has development bases all over the world, so collaboration across borders is necessary.
![Customer](https://www.nss.co.th/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/business_woman3_1_question-150x150.png)
Global competition need to have the ability to design anywhere and produce anywhere, can the 3DEXPERIENCE platform be achieved it?
![NSS](https://www.nss.co.th/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/animal_panda-150x150.png)
Sure!
Utilizing FCS, you can achieve smooth and global collaboration between all locations on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
![NSS](https://www.nss.co.th/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/animal_panda-150x150.png)
In the next blog, we will introduce how this is realized on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and the role of FCS.
![Customer](https://www.nss.co.th/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/business_woman1_4_laugh_resized-150x150.png)
I see.
Looking forward for next BLOG too.
