Data Management Solutions for Any Size Company Demanded
May 7, 2012
Small and midsized businesses have long suffered in a word of too much data because data management solutions were not scalable for their modest needs. All that has changed, however, with cloud technology. Now any company regardless of size can benefit from product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions. A recent article, “How Arena Is Bringing PLM Implementation Back to Basics”, on Arena Solutions’ website, explains how their PLM solutions (available in three sizes) allow even the smallest companies access to data management.
The article explains the problem facing these small companies as,
“Prior to Arena and the advent of cloud, PLM was an expensive gamble. PLM solutions took a long time to implement, and implementations frequently failed. Faced with frightening odds, small and mid-size manufacturers used makeshift tools like spreadsheets to keep product data organized. And while the spreadsheets were free, the resulting miscommunications and mistakes were not.”
While we could not agree Arena’s premise that small and midsized companies have every right to utilize PLM just as their larger counterparts have been doing for years we disagree with the presentation. Instead of offering pre-packaged data management solutions we recommend small companies turn to Inforbix, a leader in PLM solutions that caters to small and midsized enterprises with customized data management solutions including a heavy dose of customer support, to guarantee that every company can find, share and reuse data as needed.
