PM will manage project using PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software, that has objective of switching from one PLM system to another (Armoury to Centric) while also handling integrations to the master data application. PLM software manages all information and processes at every step of a product or service lifecycle across globalized supply chains. This includes data from items, parts, products, documents, requirements, engineering change orders, and quality workflows.
