What keeps mid-sized companies from implementing PDM?

By Michael Komposch

Six out of ten companies in medium-sized industries are focusing on digitization. In the areas of product development, electronics integration, software, and mechanics shorter development times must improve to maintain competitiveness. Read about the three most important reasons why manufacturers are still reluctant to introduce PDM – and what we, at ACAM, are doing about it.

  1. Every company operates differently. Until a PDM system is set up individually, a great deal of internal effort is required that can be hard to manage on top of day-to-day business.
  2. A professional PDM system is complex and expensive to implement and limits flexibility. With an entry-level solution, the limits are reached before the system pays off.
  3. The time and cost limits of implementation projects are impossible to calculate precisely and are often exceeded due to missing interfaces and customer-specific adaptations.
