The COVID-19 pandemic laid bare industrial organizations’ vulnerability to globally disruptive events. Fragmented supply chains, siloed digital platforms that couldn’t “talk” to one another and a lack of real-time visibility into operations contributed to costly slowdowns in moving and managing products worldwide.
Part of the solution — a preventive strategy for avoiding literal and figurative breakdowns — lies in digital transformation. A smarter, more holistic and more connected approach to product development and product life cycle management (PLM) can help businesses respond nimbly to changing conditions and emerging needs, whether at a customer’s worksite or within the business’s own production facilities.
But for an enterprise-wide digital transformation to be successful — and seamless — choosing the right partner is essential. In this guide, learn more about how and why a digitalized approach to product development and PLM can be a game-changer for businesses and what’s needed to bring such an approach to life.
