Selecting the right PLM software platform for your organization can be an agonizing and painfully slow process. Identifying a solution that delights all functional constituencies is an impossible task. Engineering will want to use the CAD provider’s tool; IT will pick the ERP vendor; and others will opt for independent best-of-breed solutions that deliver superior functionality for narrowly defined problems. To ensure the selection of the right solution, companies need a partner with a deep understanding of all the leading platforms and an unbiased view of the market.
At Kalypso, our team of experts can help you to navigate the selection process and choose a PLM system that is right for your organization. We work closely with all leading software providers while bringing complete objectivity to the task of facilitating your platform decision. With a well-defined selection process and hands-on experience in implementing all of the major PLM platforms, we can assist you in understanding the sometimes subtle differences between PLM software solutions and finding the best organizational fit. Our process includes evaluating possible PLM solutions against Business Objectives, Total Cost of Ownership, Risk, User Adoption and Acceptance, and Organizational Fit.
While platform selection is a critical leg of your overall PLM journey, time spent making the decision is not time spent delivering value. Our aim is to accelerate this process while ensuring that you make the right choice. Kalypso’s proprietary “PLM Technology Capabilities Framework” is a comprehensive functional decomposition of best-in-class software solutions that is used to quickly define scope, priorities, requirements, and potential providers. From there, we can either make a recommendation or facilitate your team through an in-depth technical, functional, and organizational evaluation. Our approach can reduce the time spent selecting software by 8 to 12 weeks.
Throughout the entire selection process, we are considering complexity, cost, and time to value for your organization. Using a methodical, proven approach, we can help you take the right steps to select a PLM system that will deliver immediate and long-term benefits in years to come.
