The essential guide to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)

Any professional involved in a product’s development or manufacture, any organisation that sells a product or has customers who use it or procurement teams who specify and purchase it, needs consistent information to assist and drive their involvement with the product, and ultimately ensure the success of a product.

While a PLM solution will bring its own benefits to your business, it also brings a requirement that your people see and embrace its value; that they adopt it as an integral part of how they work.

PLM is as much about people as it is about technology. For it to be instrumental in enabling your business to streamline its processes, make them faster, and notably improve your productivity, PLM should be welcomed into your company culture and allowed to influence previous ways of working.
