Has good scalability and provides flexibility in managing customizations
PLM stores much product-related information through diagrams, attachments, and specifications. It integrates with change management solutions helping us deal with complex processes. Additionally, its integration with project management solutions allows us to handle budget allocations. We can manage practice costs in terms of resources and other materials. It works as the most sustainable formula for us.

Process Method and Tool Developer at ZF Group NAO
Effective lifecycle management improves with strong version control and deep integration needs
There is room for improvement in implementing features fully. The user interface is inconsistent and outdated. It appears that different departments or locations have implemented features differently, leading to inconsistency. There is a significant need for improved integration, particularly using OSLC for connecting with other tools like SAP ERP or ALM tools. The version control, while consistent, lacks flexibility regarding changes in CAD data and requires manual intervention for BOM management analysis.
