"As the primary system of record for product data, a PLM application is uniquely positioned not only to manage information that previously had to be handled manually, but also to comprehend related data from disparate systems like MCAD, EDA and ERP tools", said Michael Topolovac, CEO of bom.com.
"bom.com goes one step further with its web-native architecture, which facilitates standards-based information exchange across these systems.
bom.com customers gain not only a centralised view of their product information, but also access to an online PLM system that will continue to scale to meet their needs.
Partnerships are a critical piece of this ongoing evolution, and we're pleased to have so many well-respected organisations helping us offer a more complete PLM solution.
We welcome them all as bom.com partners".
