I like this software as it enables one to track all processes within the organization in one module.

Gaining full understanding of the entire process flow.

++Higher product quality ++Faster time to market ++A leaner, more efficient value chain ++Faster and easier compliance with industry regulations ++ Increased profitability for every product ++Better management insight into product-related processes throughout the value chain ++Better decisions based on accurate and comprehensive data

Products and requirements are growing more complex than ever. Oracle's Agile Product Lifecycle Management helps you innovate profitably, with the broadest and most comprehensive solution to efficiently centralize product data, streamline processes, and launch quality products faster. This product is suitable for product based organizations like Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Retail, Hitech Electronics, Consumer Packaged Goods, Industrial manufacturing , Food and Beverages etc. Agile PLM is a strategic approach to managing the lifestyle of a product throughout its full value chain from initial requirements gathering through to design , prototyping , obtaining certification, product customization, service and retirement. Agile PLM emphasizes process efficiency, cross functional collaboration in the extended enterprise , rapid innovation, rigorous quality control, risk mitigation and cost effectiveness. Organizations that take an Enterprise PLM approach reap many advantages, including: Higher product quality Faster time to market A leaner, more efficient value chain Faster and easier compliance with industry regulations Increased profitability for every product Better management insight into product-related processes throughout the value chain Better decisions based on accurate and comprehensive data

The product is good as of now. There is scope for improvement in user experience, customer service, dissemination of product knowledge with the help of webcasts, videos, elaborate product documentation etc.

It does have the ability to manage lots of files, but it's clunky and hard to use.

It has the capability to manage models and files and the power to keep track of tens or hundreds of thousands of files.

The interface is very unintuitive and confusing. It also has problems with 3D model files that are interrelated (that reference each other).

1. Provides many functions for Processing Change Orders and is a Step By Step error free approach for implementing Changes. 2. Audit Release function ensures if there are any major errors in the Change Order. 3. Custom search gives a very quick accurate result as well as lot of options are available to define custom search Logic and multiple searches can be saved under folders. 4. Can be easily integrated to many ERP tools and takes less time to reflect data under the ERP's in which it is integrated 5. Highly Customize-able as Lot of Customization options available for importing /Exporting Data and modifying data. 6. Can handle huge amount of data swiftly 7. Cost efficient 8. Availability of Java as well as web client

1. User interface is complicated and can be improved as takes time for getting used to it 2. Difficult to mass upload and delete files under affected items tab. also importing and Uploading files can be made faster 3. Validation and Importing in Change orders is slow and is difficult to manipulate 4. Custom search can be improved 5. Difficult to manipulate errors

You can define all the processes, workflows, business objects that you want, with notifications, privileges, usergroups and certified audit trails. You get enough rope to hang yourself and your business, so you'll better hire a PLM expert to handle this. Once it's set up, it can handle massive amounts of information and it's pretty stable (if you don't mess up the configuration).

The user interface is definitely not one of the most modern. Actually, it looks like it's from 2000s. Custom searches need you to know what you're doing, but that's probably due to the high customizability of the business objects. Working in customization and integration of Agile PLM with other custom solutions, I can say that you have to work up a sweat to get anything humanely acceptable out of it. You can extend the behaviours but some events are not interceptable. There's also a Java API that is one of the slowest things you can think of, and again, not everything is within reach. This means that to do your job you might even have to access the backing database, which is something you really don't want to do, both from a theoretical and pratical perspective. We have worked on the Java API so much that we've found a couple of bugs, but Oracle wasn't really receptive of our requests.
