SAP Product Lifecycle Management

SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)

Along with the next-generation technologies developed during the Industry 4.0 revolution, customer satisfaction standards have significantly increased. Meeting rising customer expectations regarding the products they will purchase, both in terms of quality and delivery times, requires a product lifecycle process managed in an integrated manner. SAP Product Lifecycle Management (SAP PLM) enables end-to-end management of all product-related processes from the creation of a product concept to its delivery to the end-user. SAP PLM helps enhance visibility and control along your processes and facilitates the monitoring of product life cycle.
