Issue in Focus: Social Business Collaboration and the Product Lifecycle: Combining the Collaborative Power of Social Media with PLM explores the possibility that companies could adopt a social business collaboration platform to improve product development processes and add proven PLM capabilities as needed to establish a socially capable PLM system.
Tech-Clarity believes that social product innovation is inevitable due to the inherent social nature of product development and the enhanced collaborative capabilities that social computing offers. But the assumption was that PLM solutions would adopt social computing concepts because it was too much to reinvent the PLM wheel in social media. But what if that prediction was wrong? Perhaps there is another path – one that brings PLM capabilities to social software. This report explores the possibility that companies could adopt a social business collaboration platform to improve product lifecycle management (PLM) processes and add proven PLM capabilities as needed.

Tech-Clarity joined PTC Global Services to benchmark how PLM implementation approaches impact the results companies achieve. See Jim Brown share some of the results from that study. The results share what top performers do differently in their PLM implementations in order to achieve higher levels of business performance. The top performers improved time to market, product cost, and product development efficiency at five times the level of other companies with their PLM implementations.Learn how:
