Modernize Product Development with Cloud-Based PLM

Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to innovate faster while controlling costs and managing growing product complexity. The 2022 PDM/PLM Study shows that traditional tools like email and spreadsheets are no longer sufficient to manage modern product development.

Digital PDM and PLM solutions help organizations improve collaboration, productivity, and traceability across design and manufacturing. Cloud-based PLM, in particular, reduces IT overhead, accelerates deployment, and enables seamless collaboration with internal and external stakeholders.

The PLM Advantage

Digital PDM/PLM solutions provide:

• A single source of truth for product data

• End-to-end traceability across design and manufacturing

• Faster coordination across engineering, suppliers, and partners

• Improved productivity and fewer costly delays

About half of surveyed companies already use PDM or PLM tools for key design and manufacturing processes—but many still haven’t unlocked the full benefits

Why Traditional Tools Fall Short

Emails and shared files make it easy for critical product information to be:

• Lost or overwritten

• Miscommunicated across teams

• Hard to trace during design or manufacturing changes

The result? Slower execution, higher risk, and reduced product quality.
