Digital Transformation Realized: A Customer Story

A global agricultural equipment manufacturer unified 17 design centers across four continents by adopting modular product architecture and centralizing processes with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Facing slowed growth and a limited R&D budget, the company harmonized standards and systems, enabling engineers worldwide to work as one team. This transformation delivered concurrent engineering, seamless collaboration, and major cost savings—demonstrating how breaking down silos and leveraging PLM can drive innovation and operational excellence in complex, global organizations.

The Power of Servitization: Unlocking Efficiency and Growth

The shift toward outcome-based business models is transforming service from a cost center into a growth engine. Aftermarket services can generate significantly higher and more stable revenue than initial equipment sales, while strengthening customer loyalty. A four-stage maturity model for aftermarket services helps organizations assess where they stand and chart a path forward. Technologies like SLM, PLM, IoT, and ALM enable predictive maintenance, digital twins, and innovative service offerings. Overcoming challenges such as long product lifecycles and cross-team alignment requires practical strategies and a commitment to continuous improvement.
