"Building the right product Lifecycle management solution can be highly challenging…

First, you evaluate, purchase, and customize a complex software package. Then you migrate your legacy data. After that you integrate with your enterprise systems.

Of course, you still need to hire industry-specific experts to define business and data models. And don't forget that these systems require maintenance including maintaining the clients on every desktop.

After all these, you may find that the solution is so difficult to use that it requires users to be retrained every 6 months..."

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 systems that they have put 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 departmental focused operation to a supply chain business models the solutions they use to enable their operations have not come up to speed.

When you add to that the complexity most of solution present in the way they get implemented or migrated to, there is a real challenge for companies: on the one hand their systems are lagging beyond their matured operational profile on the other hand making a change is a painful expensive exercise that in most cases leaves you with only an incremental benefit to what you have today.
