PLM Is An Industry Affair - Or Is It?
Jim Brown 12/26/2003 12:00:00 AM
The question, 'Do vertical industry needs play a significant role in a PLM software selection?' should be a simple question to answer. Instead, it is a question best answered with a series of questions.

The PLM Program An Incremental Approach to the Strategic Value of PLM
Jim Brown 12/21/2003 12:00:00 AM
Companies that took an early adopter approach to PLM are beginning to show significant reductions in new product introduction lead times and to benefit from meaningful cost savings by executing a series of focused, high return projects

The Hidden Gems of the Enterprise Application Space
P.J. Jakovljevic 10/29/2003 12:00:00 AM
Given ever-shorter product life cycles and companies' ever-increasing reliance on third parties to increase customer satisfaction, the need for some form of supplier relationship management (SRM) category of software should not be questioned.

Has Consolidation Made the PLM Market More Agile? Part Three: Challenges and User Recommendations
Jim Brown,P.J. Jakovljevic 10/24/2003 12:00:00 AM
Even if Agile continues to deliver superior products, its competition against single-vendor, pre-integrated ERP suite products will force Agile to aggressively differentiate the depth of their PLM expertise and further drive industry specialization.

Has Consolidation Made the PLM Market More Agile? Part Two: Market Impact
Jim Brown,P.J. Jakovljevic 10/23/2003 12:00:00 AM
The advent and growth of vendors targeting the needs of discrete manufacturing industries proves that the PLM market in this sector has been hot. Agile Software has made a name for itself by providing the tools that support the collaborative exchange of product data, appealing to companies that rely on contractors for the manufacture of its products. For companies whose BOMs change frequently, this integrated capability set has been extremely important, and Agile has thrived in the PLM selection situations requiring extensive external collaboration.

Has Consolidation Made the PLM Market More Agile?
Jim Brown,P.J. Jakovljevic 10/22/2003 12:00:00 AM
While the race for the pole position in the still evolving, moving-target PLM market started several years ago, it has been quite accelerated by Agile Software's fourth acquisition in 2003. Particularly with the most recent Agile-Eigner announcement, the two players have apparently decided to leapfrog many direct competitors by joining complementary forces.

The Different Evolutionary Stages of ERP and PLM
Jim Brown,Predrag Jakovljevic 10/9/2003 12:00:00 AM
The product development life cycle - innovate, conceptualize, plan, design, procure, produce, deliver, service, and retire - naturally includes multiple people, operating in multiple departments, and typically from multiple companies, each with locations in multiple countries around the world. Solving inherent difficulties that result from managing this complexity are the raison d’être for PLM solutions.

Customization Drives Complexity - Why It's Hard to Design, Sell, and Produce "Simple" Products
Jim Brown 9/9/2003 12:00:00 AM
It seems counterintuitive, but the process of selling, designing, and producing what appear to be "simple" products becomes surprisingly complex when manufacturers introduce high levels of customization. How can manufacturers of configured products address this complexity to streamline their processes, reduce cost and increase customer responsiveness?

Can ERP Speak PLM? Part Two: Examples and Recommendations
Jim Brown 8/2/2003 12:00:00 AM
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions have to work with many other systems, not just ERP, so integration is not a new issue for PLM vendors. Most PLM vendors recognize the need for integration and have addressed the need in their toolkits. The additional work comes from integrating the concepts and semantics of one system to the next, if this business level integration has not already been provided between the two systems. This can be a big challenge for best of breed vendors, who may need to rely on systems integrators for much of this conceptual and semantic integration.

Service Lifecycle Management - Tapping into the Value of the Product Aftermarket
Jim Brown 6/11/2003 12:00:00 AM
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) addresses the full lifecycle of a product. The focus of most of the current PLM solutions, however, does not make the most of the value available from servicing products after they have been sold. Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) promises valuable business benefits after a product has been shipped to the customer, tapping into the value of the product aftermarket.
