CIMdata Reports on SofTech's PLM for Mid-Sized Manufacturing Enterprises

SofTech, Inc. announced the availability of a new report prepared by leading industry analyst CIMdata entitled "PLM for Mid-Sized Manufacturing Enterprises - A Program Review of SofTech's ProductCenter PLM". The paper is intended for mid-sized manufacturers that are considering a PLM deployment or expansion of their existing PLM implementation.

The following is an Executive Summary excerpt from the CIMdata report summarizing its contents:

CIMdata expects the PLM market to continue to grow at a solid pace, with the most rapid growth expected among mid-sized manufacturers. This growth will accelerate as these enterprises recognize the need to improve their management of intellectual assets (an enterprise's key to enabling product and process innovation) and more clearly recognize their need to become better integrated with customers and suppliers to address cost, quality, and delivery.

This paper provides a review of SofTech's ProductCenter PLM solution offering. If covers how and why mid-sized companies are implementing PLM in record numbers by explaining PLM and its benefits. The paper then reviews SofTech's ProductCenter PLM product offering, and includes results of interviews that CIMdata has conducted with a number of SofTech's customers. The results of the customer interviews are impressive and indicate that SofTech is successfully supporting these mid-sized manufacturers with its offerings.
