Abstract

This paper offers a comprehensive review of how cloud computing is  reshaping remote engineering, detailing adoption strategies, service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and concrete applications in CAD/CAM/CAE and ECAD domains. Best-practice cases demonstrate that distributed teams can shorten product-development cycles by 25%[5] via centralised 
collaborative platforms. Particular focus is given to cyber-security  challenges, cost-optimisation patterns and the role of artificial intelligence in autonomous resource orchestration. The aim of this paper is to systematize existing knowledge, provide a comprehensive overview of tools and practices, and offer guidance for companies in Southeast Europe.
