Global Research report: Increasing the lifetime value of pharmaceutical products
Capgemini presents the findings of our fourth annual 'Vision & Reality' research study on the pharmaceutical industry. This year’s research reveals that Product Lifecycle Management is an important, if not the single most important priority for the industry.
How to Achieve Successful Innovation
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is about bringing highly innovative products to market faster. At Capgemini, we collaborate with clients to let their innovation shine through.
A Different Approach to PLM
Our biggest single differentiator is our knowledge of how PLM fits in with the business’ operating model and how to drive efficiency over the product lifecycle. We have developed a comprehensive process decomposition for all of the areas impacted by PLM forming an integrated vision of how businesses should leverage their product into their marketplace. Our six segment PLM process map is composed of the following headings:
- Collaborative Design and Visualisation
- Product Data Management
- Product Requirements Management
- Product and Project Portfolio Management
- Design and Sourcing Management
- Lifecycle Programme Management
Capgemini’s comprehensive PLM experience helps us form a coherent vision and strategy for our clients. We take a holistic and collaborative approach to developing the right PLM solution across the entire value chain. Our technology expertise gives us the capability to provide PLM solutions that encompass business process improvement, systems architecture design, and product data modeling. And our Rightshore™ capabilities allow us to offer cost efficiency and flexibility through our network of worldwide centres. We invite you to learn how our powerful assessment approach can ignite your product and service innovation.
Hundreds of Capgemini consultants around the globe are dedicated to helping companies in numerous industries improve their PLM programs. In addition, our PLM Centres of Excellence, located in seven countries, focus on developing PLM solutions for clients.
To illustrate our extensive capabilities, Capgemini has developed an innovative PLM tool called “geolus”, a geometric search engine for 3D models that will rapidly track down parts similar to a given example based on their characteristic geometrical features. Geolus is marketed by software design & management (sd&m), a member of the Capgemini Group.
Partnering Provides a Competitive Edge
Innovation today requires partners who can help bring the right products to market faster, particularly when product lifecycles are short and response time to marketplace changes and technological developments must be rapid.
Capgemini’s PLM solutions are supported and strengthened by our collaboration with leading solution providers such as UGS, SAP, IBM (WebSphere Product Centre), MatrixOne, PTC, Formation Systems, Microsoft, and HP. Our business insight, industry experience, and accelerated methods linked with their technology help provide our joint clients with a competitive edge.
