Learning PLM in 2025 with OpenBOM: Free Information, Instant Trial, and New Consulting

At OpenBOM, we believe in doing things differently. Product Lifecycle Management strategy and PLM software are known as a complex process transformation. PLM strategy includes multiple disciplines from product data management to supply chain management and planning a product development process. You also should not forget digital transformation strategy and digital technologies that are available these days to improve business processes.

Unlike traditional PLM solutions, at OpenBOM, we innovate not only in our technology but also in how we help companies learn and adopt OpenBOM. In 2025, we continue to improve the learning process, making learning an integral and open experience for everyone. This is part of evolving business models in enterprise software and PLM business in particular.

Let’s talk about how and why we’ve built a unique learning journey for our customers.

Incompetence and Learning: Embracing the Journey

Learning is the foundation of digital transformation initiatives, but it’s not a straight road. Every learning process begins with recognizing what we don’t know. Then comes the effort to improve, followed by eventual success. This cycle repeats as we grow and adapt.

At OpenBOM, we understand that true learning doesn’t come from simply reading or watching content. It happens when you get your hands dirty, face challenges, and solve real problems applying it to your company’s digital transformation efforts.

OpenBOM’s vision is to create an environment where companies feel confident to embrace their initial “incompetence” and turn it into meaningful growth. Therefore our goal for companies is to setup a learning process including business strategy, learning PLM technology, collect data, organizing cross functional teams and sharing best practices of PLM software. Customer feedback is an important element of this process -we make it very interactive.

OpenBOM’s Instant Trial: Dive In, No Barriers

One of our standout innovations is the instant trial. Anyone visiting the OpenBOM website can register and start using the platform right away – it is a completely free trial.

Why do we offer this? Because learning is a two-way street. When you experience OpenBOM firsthand, you discover how it can help solve your challenges. At the same time, we learn more about your needs and how we can assist you better. This mutual learning process is at the heart of what makes OpenBOM unique.

Learning Resources for Everyone

To make learning even easier, we’ve made all our resources freely available online. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced user, you’ll find something valuable.

• YouTube: Thousands of videos offering tutorials, tips, and real-world use cases.
• Online Library: Comprehensive training materials to guide you step by step.
• Blogs: Hundreds of articles diving deep into specific features and strategies.
• AI Assistance: With tools like ChatGPT, you can now ask detailed questions about OpenBOM and get helpful answers instantly.

One of the recent development was the new “How-To” video playlist and materials. We made it available to everyone. 

This openness ensures that anyone, anywhere, can learn how to use OpenBOM effectively.

Going Beyond: Trial and Consulting Services

While self-learning is a great starting point, we’ve learned that focused guidance can make a huge difference. That’s why, in 2025, we introduced a new Implementation Consulting Service.

This service is designed for companies that want personalized support from our team of experts. By combining hands-on help with the rich learning materials we provide, we ensure that every customer can achieve their goals faster and more efficiently. Simply contact our support team to learn more.
