Program Lifecycle ManagementProgram Lifecycle Management (PLM) is a solution for government agencies that facilitates the sharing of program data across all agency functions, customers and suppliers. Comprised of COTS software, hardware and services from IBM, Dassault Systemes, and TechniGraphics , the solution puts your data at the center of everything you do. Program Lifecycle Management pulls relevant information from many disparate databases, associates it with specific program knowledge, and makes it available across the organization and throughout your pool of contractors - empowering everyone to work faster and smarter. This allows a network of organizations - working together to capture, conflate and support geospatial data - to operate as a single entity. PLM allows organizations to share common business processes and a common knowledge of the program throughout all stages of its lifecycle, from conception to its sunset. Collaboration breeds efficiency and innovation. PLM breaks down barriers that limit interaction between people who manage programs and the contractors who produce and supply data necessary to support personnel in the field. PLM lets your agency make the quantum leap and become an information broker while streamlining the production flow, shortening the delivery cycle, and cutting total program costs.
