Portions of Tata Technologies PLM Analytics were developed in cooperation with CIMdata. The result is a three-tier PLM analytics analysis program designed to provide insight and guidance to customers about the maturity of PLM within their enterprise. This three-component approach (PLM Benchmark, PLM Health Check, and PLM Roadmap) enables a company to start with a quick, no-cost overview assessment that identifies issues and potential directional priorities for their PLM program. At each successive tier, they obtain more extensive knowledge about their current situation, leading to a detailed execution roadmap. Using the results of the three-tier PLM analytics program helps companies close their PLM value gap. “Tata Technologies PLM Analytics Maturity Assessment Program” is available to be freely downloaded from CIMdata’s Publications web page.
