The Online24x7 Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) practice enables you to reduce product lifecycle timelines through seamless integration of people, data, processes and business systems

Readiness Assessment

Organizations spend a lot on implementing IT to enhance their capabilities in various areas like product design and development, manufacturing process, resource planning, asset management, etc. Online24x7 provides PLM Readiness Assessment services to check the willingness of an organization to implement PLM to improve its product management capabilities. We offer services to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of existing IT investments, systems and processes used to perform activities in the product lifecycle. The assessment report generated highlights the following areas:

Additional investments required for PLM implementation

Commitment from the top management

Applications that can be replaced by PLM

Drive within the organization to adopt new system processes

PLM Strategy & Roadmap

Since the implementation of PLM is an enterprise-wide strategic initiative, it would require prioritization of the processes that are to be targeted, such that the ROI realizations of the investments are faster. Online24x7 has expertise in providing services related to PLM strategies by identifying the key pain areas in the current processes and the plan to be adopted for effective PLM rollout. We help establish KPIs to measure the improvements in the processes in terms of profitability, time-to-market, product costs, etc. Our consultants provide the complete roadmap of PLM implementation with timelines and milestones for the customers to track effectively.

PLM Solution Evaluation

Most customers face difficulty in identifying the PLM product that would be the best solution for their organization, without incurring higher costs for implementation and maintenance. Online24x7 uses its well-tested product evaluation methodology to evaluate product capability to meet business requirements in various product aspects like scalability, availability of support, cost considerations, etc. Each product is ranked based on its scoring on each parameter and the final recommendations on the product that best suits the current as well as the future needs of the customer. We also help the customers in preparing RFQ, floating it to short-listed vendors and evaluating the RFQ responses to select the best-suited and best-priced solutions.

Accelerated PLM Solution Implementation & Rollout

Most of the PLM implementations run into multi-year development during which the customers do not get any ROIs. Mostly, such long-term PLM implementations face various issues such as, loss of customer focus, inappropriate solutions, etc. Online24x7 adopts its successful PLM implementation methodology, which provides continuous ROIs for customers. In the first phase, we create a base framework to implement the key process areas and gain maximum benefit. This helps the end users like designers, product managers and top management to adapt to the new system and reap benefits of improved processes and better data management. Subsequent phases will target other business units and processes thereby improving the enterprise capability to manage product lifecycle.
