Investigating and adopting a PLM solution

Go to Objectives 

Deciding on a PLM solution is no different from looking at other business productivity applications, and can be as simple or as detailed as you want to make it.

Whether you spend a few hours or several months, you'll probably want to consider the following topics:

• Define your project objectives

• Assess your organization's existing processes for design, data management & change

• Set realistic goals

• Identify potential expenses and forecast actual costs related to purchase, installation and operation

• Review how software licensing can impact your budget and operations

• Establish a budget and define expected results

• Determine the selection criteria that you'll use

You're then ready to take these results and use the Internet to investigate solutions.
