Selecting a PLM Vendor (4 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic & Jim Brown
Oct 17, 2003
Abstract : A product lifecycle management (PLM) strategy is a must for enterprises that live or die on the suitability, timeliness, quality, and sustainability of the products they bring to market.

Hence, the enterprises that consider product development a core competency should investigate PLM immediately to maintain their leadership in this area. Other companies should see PLM as a necessary requirement to maintain parity with competitors.

by Olin Thompson & Predrag Jakovljevic

If your vendor is acquired, do meet the new owners, given their motivation in buying your vendor was the install base and that is you. Showing interest is your part in keeping the relationship the way you want it.

by Olin Thompson & P.J. Jakovljevic
Dec 17, 2003
Abstract : The decision to support older releases is like any other business decision, it is all about the money and profitability. If the vendor can make money at providing support for older releases, it is good business for the vendor.
