Today's spotlight is on product lifecycle management (PLM). Sometimes referred to as the "digital backbone" of a product, PLM applications support a company's products and services from idea and design, to production and final disposition. In recent years, PLM solutions have evolved to provide functionality for portfolio management, manufacturing process management, ideation and requirements management, service data, and regulatory and compliance functions.

Ensuring a Successful PLM Implementation guides you through the PLM implementation process to help make sure things go right, right off the top. This informative white paper comes to you from PTC, hot on the heels of news of its intent to acquire product development software provider CoCreate for $250 million (USD).
