How to Transcend from PDM to PLM/ERP

Due to rapidly evolving market conditions, many companies face the need to make internal adjustments to accommodate increasing product intricacy and expectations for shortened product lifecycles. The immediate solution for many companies with such problems is to either optimize existing solutions or to create new business strategies by outsourcing and decentralizing resources. In an attempt to do either or, some companies will expand by acquiring and merging assets.

However, in future activities e.g., attempting to further optimize, these companies will most likely experience that said past activities will come back to haunt them. From the acquisitions and mergers a complicated thread of time consuming and financially onerous PDM solutions will emerge and vaguely attempt to unify departments. Instead of directing the economical spending towards actual approvements, company finance will instead be dedicated to the maintenance of the multitude of existing PDM platforms.
