It's not what you buy, it's how you manage it

Article Abstract:

Project Lifecycle Management (PLM) software fails invariably because users and developers over-complicate the software and fill in all sorts of useless programs. PLM should be all about managing product development through the entire lifecycle of the products and the software should be easy to manipulate for best possible results.
