While improving the quality of products, PLM can drive higher revenue, reduce cost, and increase capital efficiency. These factors are promoting wide adoption of PLM, with analyst forecasts pegging the global mainstream PLM market to grow at a CAGR of 9.93 percent during the period 2017-2021. PLM landscape has evolved radically since the early 2000's. Over the last few years, the industry has gone through a consolidation phase and has seen noteworthy R&D investment in PLM platforms.
