The Essential PLM Elements The Essential PLM Elements

Successful product development requires integration of three domains:

Create! and innovate at the product development process level and with your supply chain

Collaborate! by harnessing the wisdom, resourcefulness, creativity and power of your supply chain

Control! your product data with a single system of record or “system of truth”that ensures “total product confidence” with the latest, most accurate information that can be shared across the value chain

Customer QuotesCustomer Quotes

The functionality demonstrated to date shows immense promise in providing industrial designers with a tool that rapidly captures the theme of the proposed product through 2D sketches, 3D models, renderings and rapid prototypes……Pro/CONCEPT is a tool created specifically for industrial design, not an engineering tool adapted to I.D. use. Moen is very excited about the promise of this new solution.”Mike Brattoli, Senior Product Designer, Moen Inc.

I was very impressed with Pro/CONCEPT. It's simple to use, visual and has many powerful tools."

Allen Zadeh, Smart Design

Sun Microsystems has been actively involved in the planning and design of Pro/CONCEPT. The integrated sketching and modeling found in Pro/CONCEPT give more flexibility to our designers. The ability to hold design reviews across our intranet will enhance our dispersed teams, making them more efficient and driving the product development process at aneven quicker pace.Drew Tosh, Industrial Design Lead, Sun Microsystems
