PLM systems control your product intellectual property and shape how engineers work daily. Focus on clean data migration and keep automation simple. Talk to companies that have already done this, not just vendors.
Go in with your eyes open. I mean, PLM projects are hard for sure, but done correctly, the benefits are huge. You know, you're talking about managing a company's crown jewels, I mean, the IP around its products, and affecting the day-to-day lives of some of the most critical resources, the engineers that design the products, that put the company on the map. I think if you do that and you take time to get your data migration right and you don't get carried away with tons of fancy automation and overly complex workflow, you'll be fine. And I guess lastly, I would say that don't be afraid to ask for advice. I mean, you're not the first company headed down this road. There are lots of people who have learned lots of lessons along the way. And frankly are quite open to talking about it. So don't be afraid to ask for, for advice and take advantage of all the knowledge that's out there.
