The world of electronics product development is evolving at a rapid pace. As products become more complex and teams become more distributed, effective collaboration and data management are more critical than ever. Traditional methods of managing the bill of materials (BOM) and product configurations are no longer sufficient to keep up with the demands of today’s market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLM of the future: Webinar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our recent PLM of the Future webinar, we explored how cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions can help electronics companies overcome the challenges of engineer-to-order and configure-to-order product development. By leveraging the power of the cloud, these solutions provide a single source of truth for product data, enabling teams to work more efficiently and effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOM management in the cloud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the key topics covered in the webinar was BOM management. The BOM is a critical deliverable that is used by multiple departments <\/a>throughout the product development process, from engineering to manufacturing to procurement. However, managing the BOM can be a complex and time-consuming task, particularly when dealing with product variations and frequent changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloud-based PLM solutions like Teamcenter <\/a>X<\/a> offer a streamlined approach to BOM management:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
