Many studies have shown that the 5% spent upfront on the design step of a product's lifecycle influences up to 70% of the final product cost. In all reality, SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions have become business platforms focused on product and process innovation.  

By including the design function into the business process and data strategy, an SAP driven PLM solution makes you a Design-Driven Enterprise. This enables you to get your products to market faster, helps you adapt rapidly to customer requirements and makes your business models more flexible, timely, and more profitable.

How?  By incorporating the engineering knowledge into the data foundation, SAP reduces the complexity of the data, harmonizes processes and data availability and use,  and uses it to influence production, sales and services.

PLM makes your company more reactive, resilient and making your job more enjoyable!
