PLM Data Migration: Moving the Product’s “DNA” Without Breaking It

From Files to Knowledge: Turning PLM Vaults into Decision Libraries

Most PLM systems are good at one thing which is storing and controlling files. They keep the “latest” version of a drawing, lock down revisions, manage approvals, and provide traceability. That’s important, because without control we get chaos. But in many implementation eventually realize a painful truth, even with a well-managed PLM vault, people still

AI in PLM: It Must Solve Real Business Problems, Not Just Be a Fancy Tool

A striking result from recent research at MIT is that about 95 percent of generative AI investments yield no measurable returns. That is a wake-up call.

To Customize or Not to Customize PLM: When, Why, and How

A key question for PLM consultants and product managers is how much to customize their PLM systems to fit specific business needs. Some organizations take PLM software “out of the box” (OOTB) with minimal changes, while others heavily tailor it with custom features. In this blog, we will explore what PLM customization means, its pros

PLM – It’s Not Rocket Science — Or Is It?

Long ago (but not so long ago), when I was still a young rooster—or as the Swedes like to say, ‘ungtupp’ (because why use one syllable when you can use two?) I found myself in the heart of a manufacturing facility at Godrej & Boyce, passionately pitching the implementation of an Infor Product Lifecycle Management
