What is most important when considering and looking at a PLM system?
While the core function of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) revolves around managing information—how it’s created, handled, distributed, and shared—its impact reaches far beyond data. PLM influences every corner of a business, shaping how teams collaborate, how products evolve, and how companies stay competitive.
For organisations that embrace PLM, it becomes more than just a system—it’s a strategic foundation. PLM serves as a core pillar of operational success, supporting daily workflows and driving long-term growth. By aligning product data with business goals, PLM helps companies streamline processes, reduce costs, and reinforce their competitive edge in a fast-moving market.
If you're looking to evaluate the effectiveness of your current PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) approach—and the software supporting it—start by assessing its reliability in achieving three critical business goals:
With the creation of robust, consistent, and unified information at its heart, PLM addresses the day-to-day issues that may arise from inconsistent information sources and methodologies, but can only do this if they’re all brought together in one platform. Such a platform can provide an automatic, and automated, connection between the constituent phases and practices involved in the overall PLM process.

As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, some of the biggest risks to your organisation might not be obvious. In this month’s IT Bulletin, we shine a light on three critical security concerns that are often underestimated or overlooked entirely. These issues can silently compromise systems, leak data, or be exploited without detection.
The latest updates to Factory Design 2026 bring powerful improvements to connector class creation, workflow efficiency, and overall performance. From a brand-new Connector Class dialogue to enhanced 4K compatibility and stability upgrades, these changes are designed to make your design process faster, smoother, and more intuitive.
Efficiency, accuracy, and innovation are crucial for staying competitive in the industrial landscape of today. Manufacturing and engineering companies face increasing challenges in managing product development, ensuring design accuracy, and optimising workflows. That’s where Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) come into play.
