Services

Bringing life to the connected digital enterprise by integrating PLM, ALM, and SLM, enhanced by AI.

Welcome to an exclusive event brought to you by TCS, in collaboration with PTC. Join industry leaders, visionaries, and top executives from leading enterprises at this invitation-only event. In an era where industrial manufacturing organizations are challenged to bring complex products to the market swiftly, while ensuring seamless customer experience, the integration of product lifecycle management (PLM), application lifecycle management (ALM), and service lifecycle management (SLM) powered by AI is more critical than ever.

Join us for an insightful event where we explore how to streamline design, manufacturing, and service related processes using technology to reduce costs and improve throughput. Discover the strategies for integrating new technologies smoothly and fostering cross-departmental alignment, as well as upgrading outdated systems to align with modern standards, while addressing internal resistance to change.

Why attend?
