BEACHWOOD, OH, August 05, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ --
Kalypso, the world's premier innovation consulting firm, announced today that its
PLM Vivo solution has been highlighted in a new
AMR Research report, "Cool Technologies for Improving Consumer Products Value Networks." Kalypso PLM Vivo is the rapid deployment product lifecycle management (PLM) solution for the Food and Beverage industry. The AMR report, published July 29, 2009, was authored by Lora Cecere, Gene Phifer, Steve Steutermann, and Allen Johnson.
Launched July 2009, PLM Vivo is built on
Oracle's Agile PLM for Process application and comes pre-configured with Kalypso templates, workflows, core data and profiles specific to the food and beverage industry, which are based on best-in-class implementation practices. With PLM Vivo, food and beverage companies can dramatically reduce the complexity, time, and effort to implement PLM--with the ability to go live in as little as 13 weeks and reduce implementation costs by up to 66 percent.
In highlighting why PLM Vivo was chosen as a "cool technology," the AMR report stated, "One noteworthy area of interest from client references was [PLM Vivo's] three-level product data model definition that enables master data for food traceability to answer key questions one step forward and one step back in four hours. While most food and beverage companies have started the process of transactional master data management, product master data hubs and process level requirements for recipe management must be designed in parallel to meet the upcoming requirements for product master data management."
"We developed PLM Vivo to provide food and beverage companies with a low-risk, low-cost option to implement PLM while facing challenges such as food safety and compliance, time-to-market pressures, and growing product complexity," said
George Young, a founding partner and consumer goods industry practice lead at Kalypso. "We are pleased to have PLM Vivo included as a 'Cool Technology' in the AMR report 'Cool Technologies for Improving Consumer Products Value Networks.' We believe it is strong validation of the need for a rapidly-deployed PLM solution in the industry, especially with today's ever-growing requirements for food safety, traceability and compliance."
Food and beverage companies can learn more about PLM Vivo by attending the webcast "Reduce Risk and Accelerate Benefits with PLM Vivo," which will be held August 13 at 2:00 pm Eastern. For more information visit:
