Client was facing several challenges in their product lifecycle management
process, which was causing delays in product development and increasing
costs. The company had been using a traditional approach to product
development, which involved multiple teams working in silos, leading to
communication gaps and lack of collaboration.
Client wanted to improve their product development process and reduce the

Lifecycle Management (PLM) system along with Thingworx, an IoT platform, to
enable better collaboration among teams and streamline the product
development process.
