• Product complexity continues to increase across all aspects of mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems, embedded software, and cloud-based software systems.
• People in product development do not have, in general, a good understanding of systems of systems processes across domains—they tend to specialize in one aspect.
• Systems of systems can be more difficult to manage than individual products, but it provides a competitive advantage when mastered.
• PDM/ALM solutions must handle many more types of processes and data and the essential links among those aspects (subsystem domains, the required engineering disciplines, and live data from the product in use).

• You will understand why the complexities of today’s product systems are forcing changes in strategies for using PDM with ALM.
• You will see how PDM with ALM supports electronics, embedded software, and rapidly growing product complexities.
• You will learn how systems engineering enables companies to address growing complexity without the need to increase staff levels.

Regardless of the complexities of your products, you will find this webinar to be timely and informative. It will provide useful guidance on expanding your strategy for PLM (PDM/ALM) to support rapidly evolving systems of systems throughout product development.

Attendees can come from every part of the organization since systems have cross-functional impacts on product design, manufacturing, service, and other downstream product processes and product operations. People from multiple levels will find the information pertinent and valuable: senior and middle managers, PDM & ALM team participants, PDM & ALM users (engineers, manufacturing planners, installation and services practitioners, and others), IT—anyone impacted by how an organization adopts new digital strategies to support product programs.
