IBM Product Lifecycle Management Suite

IBM in partnership with Swansea University has established the UK’s first Centre of Excellence in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).  Vital to survival and future competitiveness of manufacturing companies, IBM’s PLM solutions helps them to leverage the Internet to transform themselves from traditional manufacturing businesses into e-businesses.  This is achieved by providing the applications, infrastructure, methodologies and services needed to support the entire lifecycle of their products. 

IBM’s core Product Lifecycle Management portfolio includes CATIA and SmartTeam, core PLM application software which support and manage collaborative creation, simulation and visualisation of products, processes and resources.  These software applications are already widely used within the manufacturing industry, and in particular by automotive and aerospace companies, accelerating time-to-market, innovation, additional revenue streams and cost savings.
