Why machine builders should put their PLM in the cloud

By Jason Meyers

When machine builders implement a product lifecycle management (PLM) solution, they need to decide whether they want the software on-premise or in the cloud.

The pros and cons of each scenario have been debated countless times in many places across the internet.

More and more forward-thinking machine builders are moving their PLM solutions to the cloud, often referred to as Software as a Service (SaaS).

PLM for Machine Builders is one of those SaaS PLM solutions.

The advantages of PLM in the cloud

Machine builders of all sizes are choosing PLM in the cloud because it’s more accessible, flexible, efficient and cost-effective compared to an on-premise solution.

SaaS PLM can be implemented more quickly with solutions up and running within days and at a fraction of the up-front costs.

Once in place, users can access PLM anytime from anywhere with an internet connection, and it can easily scale up and down as needs change.

This short webinar clip highlights six big advantages of using a PLM in the cloud solution like PLM for Machine Builders.
