Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software solutions support the business processes for bringing new products or services from concept through all developmental stages, to market. PLM subsequently supports managing the evolution, maintenance and updates of products and services through retirement and final disposition. PLM solutions include functionality for Product Data Management (PDM) which deals with managing all the product related data and information; Product Portfolio Management (PPM) which deals with managing the products or services through the various life cycle stages; and Customer Needs Management (CNM) which ensures that customer needs or requirements are met by all stakeholders across the life cycle stages. PLM interfaces to other systems and business processes such as Computer-aided design (CAD) Collaborative Product Design, Sourcing, Compliance, Supply Chain, Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computer-aided Engineering (CAE) and others.
