    What are Criteria for Selecting Best Practices?


    Best practices:
    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Planning prior to Deployment Aligning Business requirements to Implementation requirements Define Infrastructure Early Minimize customization Plan Security in Advance Learning and Adoption - Early and Often Manage and Control Change. Supporting documentation best practices How can PLM perform for your organization?

    What are Criteria for Selecting Best Practices?


    Criteria for PTC best practices include
    Easy to explain process improvement value Provides measurable process improvement Supports customers business initiatives PTC technology enabled

    Additional criteria for technical job aid investments in best practices:


    High impact on future services efficiency, and freework Past or imminent services implementation experience
    Existence of dedicated, experienced teams (e.g. RFA, AutoPDS)

    Planning prior to Implementation


    What needs to be planned before starting a Windchill Implementation process?

    Obtain Engagement Business History


    Define the value of moving to a new targeted release of the project. Ensure that the business objectives as well as your implementation project goals are aligned Maps the challenges (pains)

    Aligning Business requirements to Implementation


    Misaligned requirements lead

    Aligning Business requirements to Implementation


    Keep in mind

    Understand the requirements and connect with the use cases The solution to problems is not just the PLM System Functionality Collaboration is the first step in successful Windchill implementation. Prioritize the quick wins processes to implement in Windchill.

    Define Infrastructure Early


    Leaving the infrastructure plan to last minute means

    High risk of project delay during PLM systems implementation Premature decisions to cover the lack of infrastructure resources Misunderstand the PLM Software/Hardware Matrix compatibility.

    Define Infrastructure Early

    Make sure that IT can provide the infrastructure resources on time aligned with Business goals.

    Let the IT department aware of the PLM project changes, it might be to affect the infrastructure planning.
    Understanding importance of the infrastructure is one of the keys success or failure of these Implementation initiatives.

    Define Infrastructure Early


    What the Infrastructure Resources I need to plan?
    Plan in advance the training resoucers
    Most of the projects put the training in the end of the implementation.

    A IT subject-matter expert (SME) or domain expert is a person who is an expert in a particular infrastructure area or topic.

    Make a good Infrastructure foundation


    (Software, Hardware, Network, Security, Information Data)

    Windows or Linux? Oracle or SQL Server?

    Define Infrastructure Early


    Measure the capacity plan to keep PLM and business running

    Plan information growth into the Windchill to anticipate the business need.

    Follow the new Business projects to increase more infrastructure resources.


    The Business doesnt have one size

    10

    Minimize customization
    Customization increases TCO

    High cost during of implementation Upgrades are painful and require high efforts to manage the end solution Vendor support is compromissed

    Cause performe problems needing to acquire more hardware resources

    11

    Minimize customization
    Use OOTB approach during the Windchill Implementation

    Configuration and not customization Explore the potential of the PLM System capabilities first The greatest challenge when implementing an out-of-the-box solution is change management. (not
    technical challenge)

    12

    Minimize customization
    What is the best decision?
    High

    Option1: No Customization
    - OOTB approach - No cost, low risk, vendor support

    4
    Necessary Evil Wrong Selection Cost of ownership

    Option2: Customization
    - Modify the system to meet functional requirements - Costs related to managing, high risk, no vendor support

    Option3: Postpone Implementation


    - Sunk cost to software licenses, hardware, consulting fees - Do nothing, keep the existing system

    3
    Bad decision Ideal

    Option4: Custom in-house


    - Made to order system - High maintenance cost - High resources requirements

    1
    High Funcation Gaps Low

    Learning and Adoption


    Early and Often
    Poor adoption and training cause project failures
    Factors impacting value realization from technology

    Learning and Adoption ensures customers Lack of training realize the most value outis ofthe their PLM common reason IT investment projects fail to deliver Learning the expected value to The right training for the right people at the right time an organization.
