PLM, ALM & SLM – The Complete Digital Backbone
Why a Digital Thread Matters
Modern manufacturing thrives on connected ecosystems rather than standalone products. With PTC’s integrated platform — combining PLM, ALM, and SLM — silos are eliminated, bringing engineering, software, and service together into one seamless digital backbone. The result is faster innovation, higher quality, and sustainable growth.
Without Integration:
- Data silos between engineering, software, and service
- Hardware/software releases out of sync
- Poor service responsiveness and high costs
With GMMSPL + PTC:
- Unified visibility across design, software, and service
- Faster, error-free product launches
- Reduced lifecycle cost and stronger customer satisfaction
PLM (Windchill)
ALM (Codebeamer)
SLM (Servigistics)
- Data silos, duplication, poor collaboration
- Single source of truth, global collaboration
- Fragmented requirements, isolated software teams
- Centralized requirements, unified collaboration
- Inefficient spares planning, inventory issues
- AI-driven spare parts optimization
- Uncontrolled engineering changes & compliance issues
- Structured change management, traceability
- Complex, error-prone compliance
- Built-in ISO, ASPICE, FDA, IEC templates
- Service teams lack updated product data
- Real-time integration with PLM for accurate repairs
- Delayed time-to-market, higher costs
- Streamlined processes, faster launches, cost savings
- Hardware/software out of sync
- Seamless PLM-ALM integration, aligned lifecycles
- Poor fix rates, high service costs
- Improved first-time fix, reduced costs, happier customers
