Integrated PLM Roadmap and Business Case Across Four Product Companies

Management needed a fact-based foundation to align priorities, define the target state on high level, understand migration implications, and make an informed implementation investment decision for multi year harmonization.

Challenge

  • An industrial organization wanted to harmonize PLM across four divisions - product companies

  • Different processes, tools and product information flows made it difficult to define a common direction and determine where implementation should begin

Approach

  • A target PLM roadmap, defining future process needs, tool compatibility, data flow, organization and data migration needs across the four product companies

  • An integrated implementation plan and business case, establishing priorities, sequence, resources, budget, risks and expected value

Value Added

  • Implementation-ready foundation providing management clarity on what to implement, where to begin, and how to sequence the transformation

  • Reduced implementation uncertainty and established a structured path from PLM ambition to execution
