PLM The digital home for your projects, products & documents
Product lifecycle management (PLM) software improves processes and teamwork across disciplines, systems and organizations. Cloud PLM is a modern SaaS (Software as a Service) solution which opens up the world of PLM to companies of all sizes, enabling fast onboarding, low investment costs, and high IT security.
The PLM Challenge
As products grow more complex and teams more distributed, many manufacturers find their existing PDM tools can no longer keep up — yet traditional enterprise PLM feels overengineered and expensive to implement.
Time Wasted Searching
Of an engineer's time spent searching for data rather than engineering — a direct cost of not having structured PLM. — CIMData
Annual Rework Cost
Of total revenue for leading manufacturers now comes from aftermarket services — spare parts, maintenance contracts, and upgrades — McKinsey
Months to Go Live
Typical implementation timeline for CIM Database Cloud vs 12–24 months for traditional enterprise PLM — configuration, not programming. — CONTACT Software
