As part of any PLM project, you will first need to look carefully at your current processes and understand where they are in terms of their maturity when compared to best practice and best-in-class PLM software, measured across the 60+ processes that are typically found within a modern PLM platform. For example: you may have a particular process within a vendor’s PLM solution that is measured as a level 1 (being ‘acceptable’). Alternatively you may use a different solution that will have been awarded a level 5 (being “advanced”) for the same process. That can lead to greater user acceptance and value for your business.
