The new system is designed to support the complete product lifecycle.

The Oracle-CPG Solution
With Agile PLM in place, Avema gained efficiencies in portfolio visibility, process and schedule management, as well as content and resource management. "We implemented a single repository for Research & Development and Sales & Marketing content, made knowledge easily available across the organization and completely replaced the use of spreadsheets and databases for key functions," said Ali Safadi, Partner at CPG. Avema now has dashboards and reports that enable instant information and fast decision-making.
