PLM/MBE Benefits Appraisal
Our Benefits Appraisal Service is crafted to enable a streamlined and comprehensive approach for evaluating the benefits that an organization realizes from the implementation and use of a Product Lifecycle Management and/or Model-based Enterprise solutions including but not limited to; Core Product Data Management (PDM), Requirements Management, Systems Engineering, Model-based Definition (MBD), Model-based Enterprise (MBE), Component & Supplier Management (CSM), Supplier Collaboration, Knowledge-based Engineering (KBE), Stage Gate Execution Management, etc. It is intended to help organizations that:
- Are considering acquisition of PLM and/or MBE and require a comprehensive understanding of the specific value proposition for their business model e.g., ETO, CTO, COTS, Hybrid Business Model
- Have implemented PDM Core functionality and wish to extend the exploitation of these application assets to enable PLM, MBD, MBE, Digital Enterprise
- Have implemented some PLM Functionality and wish to extend to Model-based Definition (MBD), Model-based Enterprise (MBE) to enable the Digital Enterprise
