PLM Isn't Just for the Large Corporate Market Anymore

Complex product development environments are no longer a problem unique to large manufacturing companies. Small- and medium-sized organizations face the same challenges: increased complexity of products, greater amounts of digital product information, and geographically dispersed teams.

The solution to these challenges has historically been to deploy an on-premise, enterprise Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution - a solution inherently prohibitive to the SMB market due to large upfront investments, dedicated IT resources, and lengthy deployment timelines.

Product Lifecycle Management for All
With PTC PLM On Demand, these obstacles are eliminated for small- and medium-sized companies that recognize the need for PLM but lack the resources - either human or financial - or are not interested in the overhead of managing a PLM solution in-house.

It has all the benefits of PLM such as data vaulting, document management, direct multi-CAD integrations, change, collaboration, project management, and visualization - without the complexity, time, cost, and risk associated with installation, maintenance, and upgrades.
