The Practical PLM Newsletter - Issue 2, January 2016

We are pleased to kick-off the year with a multipart series geared to the business drivers of PLM.  We’re calling this series “Pursuing the Promise of PLM.”  In this first part, we’re laying the groundwork for why PLM needs to be a strategic initiative with executive sponsorship all the way from the top.  On the other end of the spectrum, we get under the hood on workflow ideas.  We’re also introducing our “In the Labs” section to the newsletter.  This section is dedicated to projects and solutions underway that aim to solve some of the challenges that our customers are facing.  In this issue, we’ll talk about Proposal Management for Engineer/Build-to-Order organizations.  There is a lot of reading here.  Take your time.  Try an article and get to another article at a later date.  By the time you’re done, next month’s issue will be coming out.
