CIMdata in the News: “Broadening the PLM Footprint”
In the “Broadening the PLM Footprint” article in IndustryWeek John Teresko notes “Product lifecycle management (PLM) technology is reaching record levels, with analysts predicting sustained growth for the next five years.”
In the article CIMdata President Ed Miller offers this insight:
"Executive-level recognition of the significant business value of PLM will continue to drive the increased implementation of the approach," says Miller. "Increasingly, many of these far-reaching systems extend beyond engineering design to a broader range of activities -- from early-stage product strategy development and planning, to product engineering and manufacturing engineering, and through to product maintenance and support." He explains that the impact of this broader PLM footprint is that many diverse, previously isolated disciplines and pockets of automation are now being tightly integrated, with processes optimized for the entire enterprise and across the full product lifecycle.
