A PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) solution is a key part of your discrete manufacturing business. A successful PLM software can optimize manufacturing processes while keeping material costs low. But as technology improves, however, PLM can quickly get outpaced by their newer, more modern platforms.
Moreover, your business will one day be faced with the need to migrate to a newer PLM application. When that happens, you are going to have to account for several new investment factors – one of them is how long it takes to implement the new PLM solution. The short answer is – it depends.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Each business presents unique challenges and requirements that necessitate consideration.
A good project manager and their services team will follow best practices to ensure a successful implementation. If no corners are being cut this is a general timeframe you can anticipate:
System Design – Weeks 1 & 2
- Education Hardware and Software installation
- Business Process & Configuration Workshops
- PLM Roadmap
Configure – Weeks 3 on
- System Configuration
- Data Cleanup & Migration Testing
- Validation and Acceptance Testing
Rollout – Weeks +
- User Adoption & Hands-on Training
- Production Cutover & Data Migration
- Production

We would need to gather more information about company size, the number of modules needed, and your availability. Having said all this, a typical medium deployment ranges from 3 to 6 months in elapsed time– sometimes less, sometimes longer. Implementation will go faster when your company dedicates more time and focus on the project.
Our consultants love what they do and especially love the people they get to work with. So, if you have any questions about your implementation plans, contact us at 801.447.3777 or services@domainsi.com.
