Systemic Approach

DSA has assisted clients to evaluate and select Digital Engineering Technologies for more than 30 years.

Our approach goes beyond simple requirements evaluations and extends across the Digital Enterprise to assure the selected application can drive a real measurable value proposition across all Phases of the Product Lifecycle

DSA Assessment Focus

It is critical to evaluate PLM Providers against a set of advanced criteria to assure their alignment to your Business Model(s) e.g., ETO, CTO, COTS. It is additionally critical to evaluate them against their broader offerings, capabilities, configurability, integration and annual R&D spend across the broader Digital Enterprise including but not limited to

Assessment Boundaries

When evaluating the top three PLM providers it is no longer necessary to focus on capabilities in Core Data Management as they are all equally capable, configurable and fully integrated across the following areas:
• Program/Project Management
• Document Management
• Part Lifecycle Management
• BoM Lifecycle Management
• Multi-CAD Data Management
• Engineering Change Management
