Blog: How to Extend PLM Reach – Process vs. Content?

<discussion ref="http://plmtwine.com/2009/06/22/how-to-extend-plm-reach-–-process-vs-content/" />

I think that content and processes are complimentary:
- processes help to generate better content (integration, security, collaboration, SLAs, quality, etc.) and
- content help to make better processes (serving needs of a person who is carrying out a particular task, smart routing, KPIs, etc.)

What mixture of content and processes you need in each particular case -- all depends. And this is a very dynamic balance - each time the point of most leverage may change.

I think that a properly architected BPM can significantly improve PLM.
