This IDC MaturityScape outlines the key criteria and sub-criteria across the five levels of product life-cycle analytics maturity."This product analytics system should encompass information from product development, supply chains, manufacturing execution, service delivery, and the product itself, for performance and usage information," said Jeffrey Hojlo, program director, Product Innovation Strategies at IDC. "What is perhaps most challenging is the deployment and enablement of product life-cycle analytics throughout the organization. There are multiple data models across different domains that touch the product life cycle and need to be analyzed individually and holistically across the entire product and service life cycle."
