CIRCUIT EC / Mumbai

Dassault Systemes will help Wipro Technologies’ manufacturing customers to manage their product lifecycle management (PLM) process with CAA V5 PLMware. At the same time, Wipro will provide its manufacturing customers with value-added development, customisation and integration services on the CAA V5 platform. It also plans to support customers by providing innovative industry-specific CAA V5-based applications to improve productivity, speed and control across a product’s lifecycle.

“Manufacturing companies want to gain competitive advantage through their PLM strategy,” said N S Bala, VP, Manufacturing Solutions, Wipro Technologies. “This agreement allows us to expand Wipro’s product lifecycle management services portfolio. We will use our understanding of the manufacturing industry to help customers improve time to market while gaining greater control of the new product development process.”

According to Michael Burkett, research director, AMR Research, “In most (PLM) cases, a system integrator is a good idea. Even manufacturers with a low desire for services are likely to find that consultants experienced in both the software and, often more importantly, project management disciplines, are key to their success. The most useful thing that these consultants bring is a realistic sense of what can be done and how quickly.”

Wipro Technologies PLM group has been providing build-to-stock or design-to-order manufacturing companies with consulting, implementation, integration and managed services in PLM. Wipro offers services based on CAD/ CAM/CAE and PDM applications.
