PLM Gives Innovation Wings
April 30, 2012
As the many benefit of a customized product lifecycle management (PLM) solution is circulating throughout industries many are finding that despite their initial belief that PLM was for CAD based enterprises only, PLM can in reality be applied to almost any business application to cut costs, streamline processes and speed up production. A recent blog post, “PLM: A New World of (More) Collaboration and Innovation”, on Technology Evaluations Centers, explains some of the benefits just about any company will realize should they adopt a PLM solution.
Innovation, being vital to the success of any enterprise, is helped in spades by PLM. As the article explains,
“Innovation is much more than a buzzword in the PLM world and it doesn’t only refer to new exciting products or services – it’s more about finding more creative and practical ways to design, manufacture and maintain products. It’s a reality, just like collaboration, and the two are inseparable. PLM users were the first to understand that innovation must involve all departments of the company, as well as customers and business partners.”
Because innovation is the only way a company can survive these difficult economic times we support not only the ideas of the blog post but also companies espousing innovation while offering PLM solutions. Inforbix, a company specializing in helping companies find, reuse and share data within a global PLM solution, believes in innovation across the board. There customized data management solutions are the jumping off point for their clients to achieve their innovative goals.
