Abstract
A data management system for automatically propagating changes in information related to a product being designed or manufactured from a central location to remote and disparate user information systems includes a central data base for storing and maintaining data, an administration module communicating with the central database and having software code that can configure the administration module to validate data related to a product; a product change module communicating with the central data base and having software code that can configure the product change module to poll the central data base to determine whether a change has been made to data related to a product; and a data server having code that extracts, formats and transmits changes in data stored in the central data base to a user system, the data being transferred according to predetermined data requirements of the disparate information system.
