 Asked on Nov 17 2006 12:17:05:000PM | Q | I would like to know good sources that expose the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of the different PLM software that are available such as Windchill, Smarteam and Teamcentre.
I would really appreciate your help and look forward to hearing from you. A. C. S., |
| A | The capabilities, scope and functionality of the PLM vendors (e.g., Dassault Systèmes, UGS, PTC, etc.) change frequently as each vendor continually updates and enhances their product suite. Further, the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of each is dependent on the industry in which you do business and the specifics of your company's business model and strategy. Because of these factors, it is not practical to try and provide generic reviews and comparisons. The best sources of information are the industry consultants that continually review the vendors and implementation of their products in a variety of industries. Additionally, companies that implement multiple vendor solutions (not an implementor aligned or partnered with a single vendor) also have a good understanding of strengths and weaknesses of the vendors. Editor's Note: You might also want compare the aforementioned products using our Comparison Tool. Click the "Match" and/or "specify your custom feature requirements" buttons and then click PLM to rate these requirements according to your business need. You will then be able to compare and contrast different product offerings based on those requirements. |
