PLM for CSPs
April 19, 2012
Among the transformative technologies that communication service providers (CSPs) could successfully adopt from traditionally unrelated industries such as manufacturing are product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, particularly those offering the capabilities to create centralized product catalogs and to interface with social media.
In his article entitled “Social Media Takes the Driver’s Seat” that recently appeared in Pipeline, Faisal Ishaq argues why CSPs should follow the manufacturing industry’s technological lead and implement PLM into their operations:
“Manufacturing industries have been using product catalogs for years. Catalogs and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) processes have been used in manufacturing industries, almost since the inception of the product line. The ability to understand exactly what the customer wants, when they want it, and when to retire products, are strategies which CSPs are only beginning to embrace.”
Inforbix, whose cloud-based, intuitive, and scalable PLM products offer a variety of enterprises the freedom to find, reuse, and share product data quickly, is perfectly positioned to meet the technology needs of those organizations hoping to leverage all the efficiency gains and product marketing opportunities afforded by its nimble PLM design.
