QMS and PLM Technology Evaluation

Selecting a PLM system can be daunting task and is critical to get correct as well as achieve a competitive price.

Integware has led multiple technology assessments and has developed a database of knowledge as to the capabilities, strengths and weaknesses of the leading platforms.

Should it be necessary to evaluate the technologies first hand, we bring a set of RFP templates that can be tailored to your specific needs. Once RFPs are returned, Integware assesses the responses vs. our past experiences and help score them. Additionally we devise a demonstration script and attend demonstration meetings, ask critical questions of the various PLM vendors and help determine their relative strengths vs. your specific needs (including ease-of-validation). The results are compared objectively across a variety of variables and presented in an easy to understand format.

As part of this evaluation Integware recommends we compare the relative value of a new platform purchase against existing platforms that have already been implemented by your organization. If a business value assessment has been performed as part of the PLM strategy, this is updated to reflect vendor pricing and relative value.

Our commitment to this service is to help you get to the reality vs. the sales speak and help set realistic expectations as to the strengths and weaknesses of each platform.
