ENOVIA SmarTeam is the clear choice for companies seeking a flexible, scalable and cost-effective PLM solution that helps companies achieve product excellence.           

ENOVIA SmarTeam offers proven out-of-the-box solutions focused on product development processes that support design, engineering and enterprise activities. Solutions are flexible enough to solve customers’ business issues immediately while offering rapid deployment, enhanced return on investment and industry leading low total cost of ownership. ENOVIA SmarTeam has continued to capture an increasingly larger share of the mid-market for PLM. Notable worldwide customers include: Norgren, Tesla Motors, Nakayama Corporation, Mora, Spirit Aerosystems, Evernham Motorsports, LIG Nex1 (formerly LG Innotech), Heroux-Devtek, Busch and Mueller, Qubica AMF, Citizen Watch, and Swiss Stadler Rail Group.

According to a recent spending study by AMR Research, over 60 percent of small-and-mid-size business (SMB) respondents with $50M to $250M in revenue indicated that they will increase spending on product lifecycle management (PLM) applications by 12 percent in 2008. One reason for this planned increase is that SMBs, just like large companies, see product development as a critical business initiative, regardless of the state of the economy.
