PLM and ERP Their respective roles in manufacturing enterprises

The two pillars of manufacturing companies, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, are the keys for companies to transform their business and connect processes within the digital thread.
Successful companies are 1.5 times more likely to have processes that span both PLM and ERP according to Aberdeen research.
That is why it is not a question of either or, but rather where and when to store and manage data in order to best support the business operations.
