Companies often have multiple tools for supporting their product lifecycle management (PLM) and related business processes. This situation is usually because of the limitations of individual systems and management of PLM-related projects in functional silos. Autodesk PLM 360 cloud-based product lifecycle management provides capabilities that can address most of the PLM business process needs. However, companies still need to build cross-functional consensus to make Autodesk PLM 360 the platform for their PLM processes. This class will describe how to achieve that objective.

Vault product data management (PDM) software helps designers and engineers better organize design data, enhance documentation management, and streamline revision processes of their product data. Product data is not exclusively used by development teams, but should also be available outside the engineering department. On the other hand, the engineers require data from upstream processes such as sales orders and specifications. And that's where a product lifecycle management (PLM) system like Fusion Lifecycle software comes into the play. Fusion Lifecycle serves as a companywide information source for activities before, during, and after development actions, supported by automated processes. In this class, we will have a look at how both worlds (PDM and PLM) can be tied together to streamline the workflows throughout the whole product development cycle.
