In today's market, companies are under pressure to make effective use of capital and be ready for commercialization from the 'get go' by managing their operations processes optimally. The manual  processes that they have in place to manage their new product introduction, the product lifecycle and their suppliers and quality management have all been designed and implement when the focus of companies was different.

As companies expanded from focusing on time to market to commercializing a product profitably, and from a departmental focused operation to a supply chain business model, the manual processes that they use to enable their operations can not come up to speed.

When you add to that the complexity of most PLM solutions in the way they get implemented, there is a real challenge for companies: on the one hand their processes are lagging behind their matured operational profile and on the other hand deploying a new PLM solution is a painful and expensive exercise that in most cases leaves you with only an incremental benefit to what you have today.
