Producing the Right Product Version
Improving connectivity between development and the supply chain is one of the main challenges today, with industrial supply chains now reaching every corner of the world.
How to Achieve Successful Innovation
Innovation & Lifecycle Management is about bringing highly innovative products to market faster. At Capgemini, we collaborate with clients to let their innovation shine through.
A Different Approach
Our biggest single differentiator is our knowledge of how Innovation & Lifecycle Management fits in with the business’ operating model and how to drive innovation and efficiency over the product lifecycle. We have developed a comprehensive process decomposition for all of the areas impacted by lifecycle management forming an integrated vision of how businesses should leverage their product into their marketplace. Our six segment process map is composed of the following headings:
- Collaborative Design and Visualisation
- Product Data Management
- Product Requirements Management
- Product and Project Portfolio Management
- Design and Sourcing Management
- Lifecycle Program Management
Capgemini’s comprehensive Innovation & Lifecycle Management experience helps us form a coherent vision and strategy for our clients. We take a holistic and collaborative approach to developing the right solution across the entire value chain. Our technology expertise gives us the capability to provide Innovation & Lifecycle Management solutions that encompass business process improvement, systems architecture design, and product data modelling. And our Rightshore™ capabilities allow us to offer cost efficiency and flexibility through our network of worldwide centers. We invite you to learn how our powerful assessment approach can ignite your product and service innovation.
Hundreds of Capgemini consultants around the globe are dedicated to helping companies in numerous industries improve their Innovation & Lifecycle Management programs. In addition, our Innovation & Lifecycle Management Centres of Excellence, located in seven countries, focus on developing these solutions for clients.
To illustrate our extensive capabilities, Capgemini has developed an innovative Innovation & Lifecycle Management tool called “geolus,” a geometric search engine for 3D models that will rapidly track down parts similar to a given example based on their characteristic geometrical features. Geolus is marketed by software design & management (sd&m), a member of the Capgemini Group.
Partnering Provides a Competitive Edge
Innovation today requires partners who can help bring the right products to market faster, particularly when product lifecycles are short and response time to marketplace changes and technological developments must be rapid.
Capgemini’s Innovation & Lifecycle solutions are supported and strengthened by our collaboration with leading solution providers such as UGS, SAP, IBM (WebSphere Product Center), MatrixOne, PTC, Formation Systems, Microsoft, and HP. Our business insight, industry experience, and accelerated methods linked with their technology help provide our joint clients with a competitive edge.
