OpenText Extended ECM for PLM - Promotional Video

Extending the Value of PLM Content across the Enterprise

Manufacturers rely on product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions to develop their products. PLM environments represent the single source of the truth or the “system of record” for the product definition and orchestrates various disciplines such as computer aided design, simulations, configuration management, change management, quality management, sourcing, and manufacturing planning.

However, PLM is inherently limited in its ability to support the enterprise demands for the downstream consumption and collaboration of released product documents and files.  As a result, critical product information is effectively trapped leading to systematic inefficiencies that negatively impacts quality, innovation, and overall competitiveness.

OpenText is the industry’s first enterprise content management solution that enables manufacturers to liberate their product information trapped in PLM.  It provides a frictionless end-to-end digital thread for the consumption and collaboration of product information with purchasing and sourcing, manufacturing, product support and maintenance/operations.  It is the “system of engagement” for users across the enterprise.
