73% of PLM projects fail to achieve adoption goals. We've rescued 47 of them—and we'll tell you honestly if yours can be saved.
Does This Sound Familiar?
✗ Adoption below 40% (people still use Excel and email)
✗ Engineers bypassing the system entirely
✗ Change orders taking weeks instead of days
✗ "Phase 2" never happened (stuck in partial deployment)
✗ Manufacturing doesn't trust the data
✗ Your team asking "when can we go back to the old way?"
If you checked 3+, your implementation needs rescue.
Why PLM Projects Fail (Hint: It's Not The Technology)
70% fail from poor organizational change management
Systems deployed without teaching people why or how. No champions. No adoption strategy.
20% fail from wrong architecture
Generic "best practices" that don't match how your business actually works. Forced processes nobody follows.
10% fail from technology issues
Wrong platform choice. Poor performance. Integration problems.
Bottom line:
Technology is rarely the problem. People and process are.
