Oracle's agile PLM: a legacy of excellence
Oracle’s Agile PLM has been a trusted partner for organizations in product lifecycle management for
many years. It has enabled teams to enhance product development, foster collaboration, and drive
innovation, all while building lasting relationships within their industries. This legacy is a testament to
the dedication of countless individuals who have worked tirelessly to make product development more
efficient and effective.
A strategic shift towards the cloud
As technology advances and business requirements evolve, there are many on-prem applications that
are transitioning to the cloud. This transition isn’t just about upgrading systems; it’s an opportunity for
organizations to leverage cutting-edge technology that can transform their work. Moving to the cloud
allows teams to focus on what they do best—creating innovative products—while benefiting from
streamlined processes and improved overall efficiency.
Preparing for the future
With the announcement that Premier Support for Agile PLM will conclude in December 2027, Oracle is
committed to supporting users during this transition. They offer multiple pathways to ensure a smooth
journey ahead:
1. Embrace the Cloud: Transitioning to Oracle’s cloud-based PLM brings numerous advantages
- Scalability: Easily adapt your PLM solution to handle growing product complexity and market expansion.
- Enhanced security: Trust in Oracle’s robust security measures and compliance certifications to safeguard your sensitive information.
- Access to innovations: Experience features like the Oracle Redwood UI, which improves user interaction through automated tasks and guided processes. On the other hand, embedded generative AI agents offer insights that enhance decision-making and spark creativity throughout the product lifecycle.
- Reduced IT burden: Free your team from the challenges of managing on-premises infrastructure, allowing them to dedicate their time and energy to core business functions.
2. Extended support for Agile PLM : For those who need more time or face budget constraints,
Oracle offers an Extended Support option. However, it’s essential to weigh this choice carefully,
as it comes with risks due to the lack of updates or security patches after 2028.
Transition strategy best practices
Navigating this transition is no small feat, and a proactive approach is key. Organizations should take the
time to thoroughly assess their existing Agile PLM processes, data models, and integrations while

considering future business requirements. Here are some essential strategies to ensure a successful
transition:
- Assess organizational needs: Take a moment to reflect on your specific requirements and future objectives that align with your organization’s mission. This step is about understanding the heart of your team’s goals.
- Develop a detailed migration plan: Create a comprehensive strategy that includes data migration, process optimization, and user training. Think of it as a roadmap for your journey ahead while ensuring everyone is on the same page.
- Engage key stakeholders: Collaboration is crucial. Involve relevant departments early on to foster a cohesive and efficient transition process. Building strong relationships during this phase will pave the way for a smoother implementation.
- Identify the right systems integrator: Choosing a systems integrator who understands your industry and listens to your team’s unique needs can make all the difference. Look for a partner who values collaboration and is genuinely invested in your success.
By adopting these strategies and leveraging Oracle’s support, organizations can navigate this transition
with confidence, setting the stage for future achievements and sustained success.
