Infor PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) > Integrated PLM

Build the optimal product and portfolio mix.

Late product launches or products that don’t meet expectations are a major cause of product failures. With failure rates as high as 40%, many companies are losing research and development (R&D) capacity, wasting sales and marketing dollars, and missing out on customer orders and shelf space. The potential impact to their image and brand equity can be devastating.

Infor’s integrated PLM connects product development with R&D applications, giving you real-time visibility so you can focus the best resources on the best opportunities. From requirements validation, project status, and resource allocation to costs and risks, you’ll know at a glance if you need to kill a project early to minimize loss or reprioritize your resources based on trade-offs and risks. Plus, you’ll eliminate the inefficiency of going to multiple systems for project information.
