Lay the Foundation for Enterprise PLM

As an engineering leader, how do you ensure that globally distributed teams and tools are in sync? How do you keep your engineers productive while avoiding non-quality costs?

If you’re like most manufacturers, disjointed product development systems and processes make these challenges a reality. A digital thread, with PLM as the foundation, creates traceability and governance of your product data across the enterprise.

You can ensure the efficiency of your teams with PLM for engineering. Leading boat manufacturer, Groupe Beneteau, did just that. Watch the video to learn how.
