Digitally Thread PLM across ERP, SCM, and CX

The industry has talked about PLM managing the enterprise product record for years. The reality is, however, that traditional PLM systems have created a consolidated Product Development Record, but leave the Enterprise product record fragmented with product records everywhere. But in a connected world, Product Lifecycle Management, Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing, Maintenance, Quality Management, Service and Customer Experience need to work together cohesively. This means they should be digitally threaded across the enterprise with real-time IoT Data and Applications, Collaboration, Social and Data, and Cloud.
