A complete end-to-end consulting and implementation approach

With innovation and accelerated product development at the top of today’s manufacturers’ to-do list, an effective Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) vision and strategy is a must-have. And for manufacturers, the effective adoption of PLM is becoming critical in meeting today’s business challenges, across the board.

Benefit from a complete end-to-end consulting and implementation approach
PLM demands seamless collaboration between different entities, including R&D, manufacturing, marketing, sales and engineering, and an efficient new product introduction strategy that delivers on time and budget.

Here our consulting approach ensures that these processes are optimized before a solution is implemented. And because PLM must be fully integrated enterprise-wide, Atos ensures that all processes and systems are configured to work optimally at every stage including concept (CAD/CAM), manufacturing (MES), document management (ECM), enterprise asset management (EAM) and enterprise workflows (ERP).

Atos will review existing PLM practice within your organization and consider new approaches, supported by a complete end-to-end consulting and implementation approach:

• PLM Consulting: to identify and define a highly effective, efficient, tailored PLM solution
• PLM Core Solutions: management of products and data supported by modular components
• PLM Process and Industry Specific Solutions: fully implemented and integrated solutions.

We regard all PLM engagements as business, rather than IT, projects. As a showcase for PLM and change management best practice, Atos is firmly software-agnostic while working in parallel with technology leaders including Aras, Dassault Systèmes, Oracle, PTC, Siemens and SAP.
