The value prop stack supports the same – Focal Point helps product development organizations to increase the success of their product lines by:

Capturing business inputs in the form of business and market requirements from customers, analysts, market research, and internal stakeholders

Utilize visualization, prioritization, and unique road mapping and planning capabilities to create plans that are valuable and achievable

Bridge the gap between the business and engineering by centralizing information key to decision-making, status reporting and portfolio reviews

Prioritize and visualize customer needs to reduce the risk of minimization or elimination during project delivery of the most valuable capabilities

Centralize information to escape the chaos of managing data in emails, documents, and spreadsheets, speeding the ability to respond to changing market and business conditions

Overcome the influence of the loudest voice in the room and use objective information to support decision making

Make enterprise architecture plans actionable and value-driven by assessing requests against business priorities, and road mapping alongside other initiatives.

I work very closely with IBM on these pillars, and define success like YOU DO, via collaboration, per MANY of your previous posts Oleg.

I’m sure SaaS, WebServices can change and improve what we have today. But the problem of corporate agreement remains the same… don’t you think so? Is there chance to make businesses to agree on way they are managing data and processes? this is painful in my view…. what do you think about this? -Oleg

My point is if agreement ever possible. Idea is to transform PLM systems to manage change and not single point of truth. -Regards, Oleg

More support for EAI/ERP/BPM via web-services is there as well, making the deployment a less conplex offering, AND addressing KPI & ROI metrics.

Can you share (or point) on your methods and way to set ROI expectations? Do you believe, organizational agreement is achievable? or vendors need to handle it using technological and not organizational approach?
Thanks, Oleg

I am ALL about defining the ROI & KPI’s BEFORE the PLM success criteria are set, and as I am exclusively working with IBM-Focal Point for my PLM Practice, and as it has financial-metrics & BPM Analysis inherent in its collaboration model. Setting ROI expectations are a fully integrated part of my (& my firm’s) value proposition.
