These products are much more than just a piece of equipment. They incorporate intelligence, data, and the ability to communicate with cloud and corporate software that together can be leveraged to change the customer value proposition. Some companies are even offering their products as a service (PaaS), charging for usage or output instead of the product delivering it.
Today’s new product development (NPD) processes simply aren’t comprehensive enough to effectively design smart, connected products. What needs to change? Companies need to:
In order to take advantage of the digital opportunities, companies must evolve modeling, design collaboration, and simulation to support connected design including design decisions related to:
It's time to act. With the move toward a sharing economy, we believe that companies that simply develop and sell products will put themselves at a significant disadvantage to companies that design, develop, and stay in touch with their products throughout the product’s life. Companies that don’t embrace digitalization and start offering more than a physical product stand the risk of being commoditized.

[post_content] => How can digitalization help medical device companies improve innovation and drive profitable growth despite increased complexity and regulatory scrutiny? This animated video offers a look at what a digital medical device company looks like and offers three initiatives companies can adopt to start their digital transformation.
Digitalization offers significant benefits to medical device manufacturers because the status quo is no longer good enough. It relies too much on paper and electronic documents, inevitability leading to missed deadlines, mistakes, and inefficiency. In today's environment, key contributors work independently on their own information, leading to integration errors, compliance issues, and market delays. Now, companies can transform their businesses so that each step in the development process leverages digital information from the prior step, takes advantage of comprehensive 3D product models, and creates a complete digital thread. Digitalization can then extend into manufacturing and enable device manufacturers to quickly commission production and track manufacturing.
Medical Device companies have the opportunity to leverage digitalization and the digital enterprise to develop innovative products and bring them to market quickly. By digitalizing designs and workflows, digital medical device companies can:
What should manufacturers look for when they buy cloud software for Product Lifecycle Management? Our PLM Cloud Buyer's Guide shares the important factors companies need to know when they evaluate cloud solutions. The guide explains the reasons companies are pursuing cloud options including standard benefits like reduced implementation cost and faster time to benefit, but also highlights specific advantages to product developers including the ability to better support global environments and to design-anywhere, build-anywhere. The eBook also shares the benefits for IT departments such as the ability to provide cloud-level performance and offload operational overhead to focus on more value-added activities. But despite the benefits of the cloud, the guide explains the need to have a fully capable PLM system as the highest priority before prioritizing the deployment option, what we call a solution-first approach.
As with our other Buyer's Guides, the guide goes beyond software requirements to share deployment options, pricing considerations, implementation factors, vendor considerations, and other special requirements such as industry needs. The guide also points out the need to select a solution and a partner that will serve as the foundation for continued growth as PLM continues to expand as the digital innovation backbone and serves the future needs of the digital enterprise with IoT, AR, the digital twin, and more.
Please enjoy the summary below, or click the report to download a PDF overview (free of charge, no registration required).
For the full Buyer's Guide, please visit our sponsor PTC.
Given the increased interest and adoption, it’s time to put together some selection criteria to help companies with their decisions. We recommend that companies pick their solution first and then choose their deployment option. This is effectively a “solution first” approach as opposed to a “cloud first” approach. We find that companies are just not willing to shortchange functionality in this crucial area. They recognize it’s important to evaluate the functional capabilities of a PLM system to ensure they’ll gain the significant top- and bottom-line benefits that PLM delivers.
There are still important decisions to make after a solution is selected. Many systems can be deployed in a variety of ways ranging from cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) to traditional, on-premise implementations. The deployment choice impacts important factors including cost, security, resource requirements, performance, risk, and time to benefit. This guide is designed to help companies navigate the options and choose the best-suited PLM cloud option for their business.
