Maximize the ROI of Your PLM Investment with Customized PLM Documentation Is your organization embarking on a PLM initiative? Documentation is an essential, but often overlooked step in the PLM implementation process. Documenting the proprietary ways in which your PLM system integrates with other in-house applications, workflows, and processes helps to ensure that your business transformation initiative is adopted consistently across the organization. Companies may use PLM differently based on their unique business needs, yet many seek similar benefits, such as productivity gains, optimized processes and workflows, reduced waste, faster product development cycles, and more robust innovation. PLM documentation can help organizations attain these goals. ASCENT can help.
