A New CIMdata Program Review of PDM Technology’s BlueStar PDM/PLM for Microsoft Dynamics AX
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, April 25, 2008 — CIMdata consulting and research firm announces the availability of a new program review of PDM Technology’s BlueStar PDM/PLM for Microsoft Dynamics AX. The paper describes PDM technology’s BlueStar PDM/PLM solution and the benefits that result from it being developed on top of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution’s information technology (IT) platform. The review also provides a program and product assessment that is based on BlueStar PDM/PLM (BlueStar) version 4.0; an engineering-centric PLM solution developed on top of Microsoft Dynamics AX’s ERP platform.
In addition to the review of the BlueStar program, the paper looks at the business reasons why companies in particular industries are being driven by and benefiting from the development and implementation of tight business process and IT integrations between their development environment and ERP system(s). According to Peter A. Bilello, CIMdata’ Director of Consulting Services, “PDM technology has delivered a hybrid PLM solution that tightly integrates the advantages commonly found in an engineering-centric PLM solution with a manufacturing-centric ERP solution’s robust enterprise platform capabilities.” Mr. Bilello goes on to say that “companies who have implemented or are thinking about implementing Microsoft Dynamics AX, they should consider BlueStar for its PLM capabilities.”
