TEKTELIC Communications Selects Omnify Empower PLM for Lifecycle Management

Omnify Software, a provider of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, stated that its Empower PLM solution has been deployed by TEKTELIC Communications, a developer of high-quality cellular radio solutions and micro Base Stations, for the purpose of product lifecycle management. The PLM is supposed to help TEKTELIC manage the various factors that are involved in creating complex products.

According to Omnify, the Empower PLM solution is a business-ready solution that is quick to implement, easy to use and is built on the Microsoft (News - Alert) .NET Framework, offering an environment that can be easily configured to meet a company's specific needs and enable an easy transition from legacy practices.

TEKTELIC emphasized that it chose Omnify solution for its rich feature set, usability and affordable price. The company acknowledged that it evaluated five PLM products and also considered SaaS (News - Alert) PLM packages. It rejected the larger packages due to their cost and complexity and the SaaS packages due to concerns with data security and limited CAD tool integration. It ultimately selected the solution from Omnify Software due to its rich feature set, usability and low cost.

Officials with Omnify exclaimed that companies that implement technology early on to support best practices in product design and development are better positioned to meet the demands of competition and company growth. For TEKTELIC, and other start-up customers, their success is contingent on delivering innovative solutions, on time, while controlling development cost and the Empower PLM solution becomes an integral part of their operational strategy.

Some of the benefits TEKTELIC would enjoy by deploying the Omnify PLM solution for product lifecycle management are: greater visibility of project/product progress across all development groups; automated alerts – guide users to critical tasks; accurate prediction of product completion/delivery; improved resource usage/allocation; trend analysis – identify problem areas, shorten development cycles; and more.
