CIMdata recently polled users asking the question "How is your PLM initiative positioned within your organization?" In response, 24% indicated that PLM was an enterprise level IT system and 36% stated that PLM was enabling business processes. These responses indicate that more companies see PLM as having an enterprise impact and becoming more important to their business success. Another 32% indicated that PLM is being used as an engineering database. PLM is becoming a necessary part of the overall business environment that is being used and leveraged across the enterprise to enable innovation and business competitiveness as well as improving product development. Reflecting PLM's growth in importance to the enterprise, over 57% of the responses indicated that their companies have established a PLM vision and strategy - key factors for long term successful PLM implementation.
