Since making a wrong decision can be costly and have a long lasting negative effect on your company, it is worthwhile to take a methodical approach and use proven practices that have worked for other companies and have reliably led to the selection of the right PLM solution.
To identify what works and what doesn’t, we talked with various organizations that have evaluated and implemented PLM. We analyzed over a dozen companies in the automotive supplier, aerospace and defense, consumer goods, life science, machinery equipment and high-tech and electronics industries to find out what made their PLM evaluation projects successful, why they had difficulties, or why they failed. Based on these companies’ and
