Candor Software Solutions: Optimizing PLM Implementations in the Pharma Sector


Jairam Sangani,CEO

Product life cycle management(PLM) has emerged as perhaps the most important enterprise IT application for supporting product innovation as it can facilitate the needed communication, collaboration and synchronization throughout the product lifecycle. From design to development, until final disposal, the core function of PLM is to systematically manage and deliver reports on the changes a product goes through in its development lifecycle. While business leaders are actively adopting PLM today owing to its ability to bring time and cost savings as well as higher yields, PLM implementations aren’t always smooth and are accompanied by organizational challenges with a disconnect between the PLM initiative and organizational strategy, as well as technical challenges involving customization, data migration and integration. As a result, businesses are in need of solution partners to help them overcome these challenges and reap the complete benefits of PLM. Perfectly understanding this need, Hyderabad headquartered Candor Software Solutions (CSS) steps forward as a PLM implementation partner, with its services focused exclusively on Oracle Agile PLM and the Oracle E-Business Suite.

Since its inception in 2011, Candor Software Solutions has been focused on developing and implementing customized information management systems and third-party products, including Oracle and Salesforce.
