Product lifecycle management (PLM) establishes the data backbone for a company and its extended enterprise. It provides a system to manage the product-associated intellectual property, data, files, and business processes to support all phases of a product’s life span. PLM differentiates itself from activities such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) because it focuses on the product.
By streamlining product development, PLM helps to increase revenues, improve product quality, reduce inefficiencies, and decrease time-to-market.
Omnify Software offers a compelete PLM solution to manage your product's data thoughout its lifecycle, addressing each phase of product development, from concept to design to manufacturing to support.
