In today’s digitized economy,product lifecycle management(PLM) provides you with aunique opportunity to:

Maximize innovation throughoutyour product lifecycle, whichtranslates into higherrevenues, greater marketshare, faster take-to-markettimes and improved portfoliosuccess rates.

Transform the decision-makingprocesses you use to determinewhat products you should offer, how these products should be brought to market,and what participants performmost effectively in your product lifecycle.

Increase the value of your product and marketing knowledgeby managing this diverseintellectual property on anenterprise basis and leveragingit across multiple programs andrevenue-generating initiatives.

Minimize lifecycle cost by replacing time-consumingtraditional processes with fullydigitized, accelerated solutions.

To enable your product lifecycleto realize these opportunities and maximize its business value,PLM solutions need to:

Facilitate competitivenessby enabling your company to rigorously execute leanlifecycle processes.

Improve business systeminteroperability by enabling everyentitled lifecycle participant toexchange and share productknowledge even if thisinformation resides in disparategeographic, organizational andtechnological domains.

Increase product quality byimplementing systematic changecontrols, accommodating late-breaking configuration changes,synchronizing multiple bills ofmaterial, and eliminatingredundant product designs.

Optimize the use of factoryresources by linking people,plants and processes acrossyour enterprise, accounting forthe impact of design change onmanufacturing and adopting fully effective design-for-manufacturability initiatives.

Improve supply chain efficiencyby eliminating delivery delays,removing collaboration barriers,reducing part proliferation andfacilitating effective data sharing.
