This educational webinar will show how product lifecycle management (PLM) can help with common issues experienced in product innovation.
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 14 August 2018—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Innovators Need PLM: Why PLM Should be a Bigger Priority than ERP.” The webinar will take place on Thursday, September 13 2018, at 11:00 a.m. (EDT) and will last for one hour.
Innovation is often regarded as a competitive advantage. If this is the case why is it so hard to get senior management to invest in improving performance in this area through PLM? This webinar will identify common issues within product innovation and describe how a properly implemented PLM solution can address those issues improving a company’s top line and bottom line. Strategies for getting PLM programs approved will be identified and reviewed.
This webinar will help attendees:
- Understand how PLM can be used to support innovation.
- Understand why PLM needs investment in addition to ERP.
- Understand how downstream areas, such as manufacturing and delivery, can benefit from improved management of the critical upstream PLM domains like NPDI, requirements, eBOM, and engineering change efficiency.
- Learn how PLM enables innovators to create the intellectual capital consumed by manufacturing.
- Understand how PLM can help improve product launches and ensure a quicker time-to-value.
