Replay Webinar About our Speaker
Do any of the following statements sound a little too familiar?
- My company has implemented its PLM environment but we tend to forget that PLM is part of an ongoing, evolving business-supporting strategy.
- For the most part we need to understand more about the best practices for running a beneficial PLM program.
- We find it hard to keep up with standards that tend to evolve over time.
- As a PLM user I have no formal support structure.
As companies continue to realize the value of a comprehensive PLM strategy to support their businesses, they invariably run into problems governing increasingly complex PLM solution suites. One of the best practices that companies can establish is a PLM Center of Excellence (a PLM CoE). This group of PLM support practitioners provides essential maintenance and operation of PLM implementations—but also fulfills the continuing, growing need of organizations to expand their use of PLM across more functional areas, assure that PLM users are trained on tool use and processes, build out solutions to support a broader PLM strategy, monitor PLM benefits, assure compliance, enhance capabilities and processes, and many other functions. This webinar will present the roles of a PLM CoE, best practices to assure success, and other pertinent information to help organizations achieve PLM success.
What will I learn by attending this webinar?
- You will gain an understanding of what a PLM Center of Excellence is and its value to your organization.
- You will learn about the benefits of adopting a formal PLM Center of Excellence approach.
- You will hear about the experiences of organizations that use a PLM Center of Excellence approach.
