Oracle Fusion Cloud PLM
oracle.com
What it is
Oracle Fusion Cloud PLM is a cloud application for managing enterprise product data and lifecycle work, from idea and design through launch, commercialization, and post-launch activity. Its core areas are Product Management, Innovation Management, Quality Management, and Configuration Modeling. It manages items, bills of material, documents, requirements, changes, quality workflows, manufacturers, variants, formulas, catalogs, and configuration models. Built-in AI and agentic applications assist with product data, compliance questions, manufacturer onboarding, workflow guidance, component replacement, product comparison, and design-to-source work. The Design-to-Source workspace can use uploaded CAD designs to create sourcing items and RFQs and assess suppliers; the exact tools and connectors depend on the environment. Oracle says PLM connects lifecycle activity with its SCM, CX, and ERP systems, though integration details also vary. Product lifecycle data can use criteria-based access controls. AI offers recommendations and generated content, while lifecycle decisions remain subject to review and configured approvals. Product Management Cloud Service includes Product Hub and PLM features; without that license, other Oracle Cloud service customers have only basic item-management capabilities. Pricing is on request.
