The iPLM Assessment is the initial learning phase on the path to improving your PLM process.
We begin by describing our engagement methodology with our customers and partners. After the completion of the initial phase we move to the planning phase to determine the actions required to address those issues. After completion of these phases, we will begin the implementation phase. As we move through the implementation phase, it is imperative that we continue to measure our success to validate the solution we provided and ensure that we are continuing to align to the future business initiatives of your company.
The iPLM Assessment Process
Data. Environment Evaluation. Process Evaluation. Resources.
The first step of iPLM is to look “DEEPER” into your Product Development Process.
DataAssessment
Investigation of the digital assets of the client to identify format, complexity, and use
Environment Evaluation
Capture of the ability to effectively store, retrieve, and execute operations on data, including repositories, software, and server/client hardware
