Ability to bring best practices across industries
2.
Independence from software vendors
3.
Use of standardized methodologies, sharing of approaches
4.
Flexible and proactive approach to the Client and its needs

May thus be considered as the backbone for product-related information
Such must be able to integrate with business systems such as
- CRM, to collect the main product requirements from the market
- SRM, to foster the exchange of technical and product information with suppliers
- CAD/E/M, FEM/A and Dynamic Simulation, for design and for static and dynamic product simulation
- ERP, to facilitate the industrialization and production process
- ALM, to optimize profits for the management of product-related services
General optimization steps for the product management process:
1. Product conception
2. Product and process development
3. Technical and digital development
4. Supply chain Management
5. Product Sustainability Management
6. After-sales product maintenance
