The Getting the Most from PLM - PLM Drives Tangible Business Value eBook is the result of a joint research project between research firm Tech-Clarity and innovation consulting firm Kalypso. We researched over 100 companies to determine how some companies get much higher levels of value from their Product Lifecycle Management implementations. The report shows that leading companies go beyond tactical (yet valuable) cost and efficiency gains to improve innovation and drive higher profit margins and revenue.
Please enjoy the summary below, or click the eBook to download a PDF overview (free of charge, no registration required).

PLM and Business Value
Product lifecycle management (PLM) drives significant business improvements that show up in investor calls and annual reports. PLM implementations enable important improvements, but the value is tactical and limited to improved efficiency and reduced cost. While these are worthwhile improvements (and often pay for the whole initiative), they fail to exploit the full potential of PLM. PLM can drive innovation, improve differentiation and lead to significant revenue growth. But most PLM implementations fall short of this. Why?
All PLM Initiatives Are Not Equal
This eBook explains how some get the most out of PLM and shares practical tips for how you can drive real business value from PLM in your business. Most of the companies surveyed report that PLM helped improve their top line and drive higher margins. But some did better than others. To find out why, we looked at the companies that rated themselves the highest on revenue growth, profit margin growth and percent of sales from new products (less than three years old) – the “Top Performers.”- Top Performers grew revenue almost twice as much as others while growing profit margins 29 percent more. This is a significant difference on the bottom line.
- Top Performers also grew revenue from new products more than Others, indicating better innovation and product development performance.
Tech-Clarity’s Michelle Boucher will share recent research on PDM, PLM and the cloud at an event put on by MasterGraphics, "Cloud ERP / PLM: Gaining a Competitive Advantage with Connected Data." She will discuss some misconceptions and how to set the right foundation for incremental strategic improvement.
The event will be held in Milwaukee on August 13th. More information about the event can be found here.

Product Lifecycle Management Beyond Managing CAD, The Business Value of PLM shares survey results exploring the value of PLM beyond managing design files such as CAD. While the research finds that most Top Performers manage CAD in PLM, they also do a lot more. The research shows that Top Performers - the ones that report higher revenue growth, margin expansion, cost reduction, and product innovation - are much more likely to extend PLM further and take more holistic, process-oriented, enterprise-wide view.

Executive Overview
The concept of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software and the reality do not always match. PLM software started as a way to expand the value of Product Data Management (PDM) by adding additional information such as release status, BOMs, and ECOs. But the real promise of PLM – supporting enterprise-level processes for product innovation, product development, and engineering – offers much higher, strategic value. So why haven’t more companies taken advantage of the benefits of process-centric PLM? Some of the reason is historical, because most early PLM systems were really CAD data management with some added features. But another part is simply how important good data management is. As Tech-Clarity’s recent The Facts about Managing Product Data shows, “PDM’s ability to help companies control, access, and share product data is a powerful tool that helps companies improve top- and bottom-line performance.” PDM adds value on it’s own and is a logical starting point. But many implementations stop there, while others continue on to support more processes. Alternatively, today’s modern, enterprise-focused PLM systems offer the opportunity to start with processes in the first place. So which drives higher value, a data-centric or process-centric approach? We surveyed over 200 companies to understand if they take a data management or process-centric view of PLM to find out. We identified the “Top Performers,” those that excel beyond their peers in revenue growth, margin expansion, innovation, and cost reduction, and analyzed their PLM approach to see what leads to better performance. The survey results lead us to believe that process-centric, Enterprise PLM drives better business performance, but also finds that core PDM capabilities are an important value driver. Specifically, the survey finds that Top Performers are more likely to:- Execute processes that go beyond the technical definition of the product to the commercial aspects of the offering
- Leverage more advanced PLM processes including cost and quality management
- Have more departments and third parties using PLM
- Use core PDM capabilities more than “Others”
- Tightly integrate PDM and PLM
- Integrate PLM with other enterprise information systems and engineering tools
Reducing Program Risk with Earned Value Management explores the business value of Earned Value Management (EVM) processes and tools and how they can streamline program execution and drive down risk. The eBook shares a brief overview of EVM in business terms and shares how EVM helps companies gain control of programs, monitor and correct program health, boost visibility and management oversight, and demonstrate program control to customers. The eBook also shares how companies can leverage PLM to file the gap most companies have in creating an Earned Value Management (EVMS) system.

Why Earned Value Management?
Large programs are notoriously difficult to deliver on time and on budget. But expectations are high on program managers and program management offices (PMOs) even in the face of increased complexity from multi-discipline initiatives, intense budget scrutiny, and globally dispersed supply chains. Earned Value Management (EVM) helps reduce risk on high cost, high risk, time-sensitive programs. It improves a program’s odds for success and provides accountability and traceability into cost and schedule variances. It adds a new level of control, oversight, discipline, and rigor to program management to prevent cost overruns, missed scheduled milestones, and late delivery dates.
EVM improves program management by eliminating subjectivity. The approach lets program managers factually quantify program spending and progress. It provides a mechanism to identify and mitigate issues early before things get too far off track. It also offers a standard, proven way for customers and program sponsors to audit progress to gain confidence that the programs they’re funding are on track. Many companies choose to adopt EVM to improve program success. Others are required to use EVM for specific customers, contract types, and contract values or may need to demonstrate earned value to justify billing. Either way, EVM adds value and improves confidence in program delivery.
Compliance with ANSI/EIA-748 is required for DoD cost or incentive type contracts valued at or greater than $20 million. For cost or incentive type contracts valued at or greater than $50 million, compliance with the management attributes of the ANSI/EIA-748 32 GLs is demonstrated through a formal EVMS validation process. - Defense Contract Management Agency Instruction 208
Conclusion and Recommendations
EVM helps mitigate program schedule and budget risk. It helps companies manage large, complex, time-sensitive, risky programs. Further, it’s required to do business in some industries. EVM provides control, connects program data, helps monitor and correct program health, provides visibility to improve management insight, and demonstrates control to customers to increase their confidence. EVM requires an organizational and systems investment. Today’s advanced PLM systems provide an opportunity to extend existing infrastructure to connect disparate program information from schedule and cost systems, calculate EVM, and provide management insights in context with products and programs. Based on industry experience and research for this report, Tech-Clarity offers the following recommendations:- Leverage PLM as the backbone for the EVMS, connecting EVM with programs and program deliverables.
- Look for solutions that already incorporate the right data model, processes, and algorithms. There is no need to create this from scratch.
- Look for a solution that offers flexibility to extend reporting and processes to accommodate additional customer or management needs.

Overview
Product Portfolio Management improvements drive top line growth, expand margins, improve corporate agility, and reduce overhead costs. Given the value, is it any wonder that more manufacturers are turning to PPM? Product Portfolio Management (PPM) has become mission critical for today’s product development companies. It helps companies drive strategic value by filling the pipeline with the right ideas, selecting the right projects and products, applying the right resources, and providing the right level of visibility to manage and make good decisions. Benchmarks show PPM processes and technology offer powerful business improvements, including double-digit percentage improvements in:
- Efficiency
- Project cycle times
- Innovation capacity
This guide is intended to help you get started. Tech-Clarity Buyer’s Guides help lead companies through vendor selection for their critical enterprise applications. For the most part, our guides focus on software, service, and vendor requirements. But several things make acquiring PPM different:
- Many organizations are implementing PPM for the first time (at least on an enterprise scale or with enterprise class business solutions)
- PPM requires a greater degree of domain expertise to implement and adopt
- PPM disciplines, tools, and value are not as well know in most companies (although some might be able to leverage lessons learned from IT Portfolio Management)
- Identifying the need for PPM
- Preparing for the PPM journey (and making the business case)
- Selecting a solution and vendor partner
