The concept model, and its mapping to the PLCS information model, have made the information more visible. The Backbone Architecture have made design information more available to future production and in service support. The PLM work has been possible to continue in many years with few disruptions by the focus on information as the most stable layers of the Information Pyramid. The Information Pyramide increased the understanding of what is needed for a successful IT usage. Saab Kockums product information will be safeguarded by the standardized information formats. The organizations IT-usage is better documented and sustained by a architecture model that covers all the Information pyramid layers. The Architecture model is a important decision tool supporting IT-governance. Back up pictures Backbone Architecture & PLCS connects Information
