Over the last 25 years PLM has evolved from engineering-focused document management and product data management to more strategic quality management and innovation management capabilities. Digital pushes the scope even further: because PLM manages critical product data throughout the product lifecycle and across the supply chain, PLM now provides a critical infrastructure for the digital transformation of the end-to-end product development lifecycle.
Meanwhile, the pressure to speed cycle time, cut costs, eliminate complexity, improve quality and reduce compliance risk has never been greater. Tackling this strategic, mission-critical PLM of today requires a comprehensive, integrated approach that combines business value, technology and organizational change.
