Product Lifecycle Management

Product innovation brings new challenges on a daily basis: After using sophisticated systems for design, enterprise resource planning, and customer relationship management, you may still need to get new products to market faster. You need an integrated solution for collaborative engineering, product development, management of projects, product structures, documentation, and quality.

Lifecycle data management enables you to manage specifications, bills of materials, routing and resource data, project structures, and related technical documentation throughout the product life cycle. Program and project management lets you plan, manage, and control the complete product development process. All processes relating to collaborative engineering and project management are supported employing XML-based Web standards to communicate information across virtual development teams.

Your entire quality management is integrated so that environment, health, and safety issues can be dealt with according to government regulations. Enterprise asset management enables project managers, maintenance engineers, and others to manage physical assets and equipment, from first investment idea to retirement of the asset.
