Product Lifecycle Management is a set of processes and tools for information change management not just for engineering change orders and is a growing issue for companies seeking to have a competitive advantage with faster times to market.

Product development now requires management systems that minimize the risks of change while maximizing product profitability. For example:

• Can the supplier produce the correct versions of your products?
• Do the customer manuals have accurate images and instructions?
• Can your service department identify the correct replacement components?

There are a few of the questions that are difficult to address within your corporate system.

• How do you protect your core competency and your intellectual assets when so much information has to be shared outside your business?
• How do you minimize the product change risks and accelerate time to market?
