Transforming PLM for the digital era
Capture the transformational business value in your product data to cut cycle times, improve operations and drive revenue, customer satisfaction and market share.
The quality of your product data is one of the first considerations in your digital transformation strategy
That’s why Cognizant’s approach to product lifecycle management (PLM) brings product information, people and digital processes together to drive strategic benefit.
Whether your goal is to reduce cycle time to market, improve product operations or make a significant impact on your bottom line, product data holds the key to informed decision-making.
Most organizations embarking on PLM transformation are asking these questions:
- What is next-gen PLM in a digital context?
- What are the opportunities for our business?
- Do we have the right capabilities to embrace digital for product data?
- What steps can we take to validate our PLM strategy?
Cognizant can provide the answers. We perform organizational reviews from the top down and provide implementation services from the bottom up. Our dedicated team of subject-matter experts, all of whom have strong engineering backgrounds, will help you transform for tomorrow while overcoming today’s challenges.

Total Quality Management Solution for Improving Patient Care

The Challenge
A global designer and manufacturer of sophisticated medical devices needed a system to better manage its business process for addressing adverse events. It also needed to comply with a requirement from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Corrective and Preventive Actions and to control product quality. The company asked Cognizant to lead its new quality management initiative.
Our Approach
After analyzing the company’s risky approach to data management using multiple applications, Cognizant Digital Business proposed a strong, centralized analytical platform that would decrease operation risks and production downtime. Using PTC’s ThingWorx Navigate and Windchill platforms, we developed a single data management system with a centralized governance program, providing a single source for verifiable data. This system enables data validation, monitors data ownership, creates audit trails, addresses adverse events quickly, tracks key performance indicators and manages user access privileges.
The system also provides access to data and reports on quality events. Users select the type of report required, and the system displays key information graphically as well as drill-downs on any data points for detailed analysis.
Digital Can Improve Patient Care System Quality, Efficiency and Profitability
The client now runs a single decision-support and analytics system, reducing its reliance on point-solutions and paper-based processes. Cognizant’s rethinking of the way digital can be leveraged to better manage information is a model for how a digital enterprise can impact operations in a favorable way.
