2nd Review - Oracle's "Product Lifecycle Management"

The second tool that we looked at was Oracle's "Product Lifecycle Management" tool. That is what the named the tool, how bold. Within this tool, they suited many of their other tools which covered some of our requirements for collaboration, planning, and product data management. The one missing aspect was a tool to help manage our requirements. We could have disregarded a requirement managing tool but when we got into the suite from Oracle, we wanted something with a better GUI. Oracle seems to much of a "next step up from dos" than a next step up from Microsoft. The interface was very poor and the user community wanted something better.

The one nice thing though, was their ability to tie seemlessly with the Oracle ERP system. This was one aspect we needed to keep in mind for the future. Our main concentration was on the other four requirements and we felt that we could work the company to help improve or develop an ERP system.
