Five Ways to Get More Business Value from Your PDM

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 12:52:47 -0700

Product Data Management (PDM) is table stakes for today’s manufacturers. Effectively managing design data is mandatory for even small development teams to control, access, and share their product data. These basic PDM capabilities deliver significant operational value by keeping design teams organized and efficient. The PDM backbone, though, is also the foundation for even greater strategic value with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).

How can manufacturers gain more business value by extending their PDM product data backbone with PLM? We offer five practical ways to increase the value of PDM with PLM.

PLM's Role in Seamless BOM Management

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 12:52:37 -0700

Accurate bills of materials (BOMs) are crucial for product success. Join our webinar to discover how product lifecycle management (PLM) simplifies BOM management, ensuring you can easily organize and share structured, up-to-date BOMs across your organization. Explore how PLM provides a more complete view of your product data throughout its lifecycle, while enabling cross-functional collaboration and reducing errors.

Our experts will show you the core functionalities of PLM, including the ability to create and manage various BOM views tailored for engineering, manufacturing, and maintenance phases. Learn how these different perspectives can improve decision-making processes, and how seamless BOM comparisons, along with PLM's integration with CAD data, can boost efficiency and innovation.

In this webinar, you will discover how PLM can enable you to:

Avoid errors by consolidating all BOM types in a centralized system accessible to all stakeholders across the product lifecycle
Identify opportunities for component and material reuse to lower costs
Achieve regulatory and standard compliance through automated change management, quality documentation, and supplier coordination
Keep a comprehensive record of product components, streamline manufacturing preparation, and maintain data accuracy throughout the product lifecycle
