Siemens PLM Software’s mission is to collaborate with companies to deliver open solutions that help turn more ideas into successful products. These open solutions allow you to to transform your process of innovation and maximize the value derived from products throughout their entire lifecycle.
PLM, or product lifecycle management, can be defined as an information strategy: it builds a coherent data structure by consolidating systems. You can also call PLM an enterprise strategy: it lets global organizations work as a single team to design, produce, support and retire products, while capturing best practices and lessons learned along the way. At Siemens PLM Software, we view PLM as an information strategy, an enterprise strategy and, ultimately, a transformational business strategy. We see it as a comprehensive approach to innovation built on enterprise-wide access to a common repository of product information and processes.
PLM enables the kind of convergence that ERP and CRM prompted in the past. In the early 90s, ERP unified finance, HR, manufacturing and warehouse systems. A decade later, CRM brought call center automation and sales force automation together. Now, CAD, CAM, PDM and the manufacturing process are converging through PLM. Yet PLM is unique from other enterprise software because it focuses on driving top-line revenue from repeatable processes. Through PLM, your products are a path to innovation, industry leadership and top-line growth.
