Omnify Software, a provider of web-based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software for discrete manufacturers, today announces that Seahorse Bioscience, a provider of tools for cell metabolism research, implemented Empower PLM to replace paper-based product development processes in order to centralize and control product data and keep two corporate divisions in sync. Seahorse Bioscience was managing information such as part numbers and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) using Excel spreadsheets. With two corporate divisions this eventually became inefficient, risky and laborious. The company found it necessary to implement a PLM system in order to have one corporate source for part number generation, ECO generation and tracking, and to create a secure corporate repository for product data with automated revision control. “Tracking all engineering changes in a centralized system eliminates previous issues with misplaced or forgotten ECOs and our vendors always receive the latest revision of a drawing from which to work,” stated Bill Beard,
