The Story of xLM Solutions: Supporting OpenBOM Success Through Customization and Collaboration

I’d like to share the story of xLM Solutions, a PLM service provider that focuses on helping businesses adapt and customize PLM systems to meet their specific needs. Over the years, xLM Solutions has built a strong reputation for their work in configuring systems, integrating tools, and supporting customers. At OpenBOM, we’ve had the opportunity to work with the xLM Solutions team on several projects, where they’ve provided valuable support in training, developing custom scripts, and creating integrations for our customers.

In a recent video, Mark Young, President and Co-Founder of xLM Solutions, discusses their experience working with OpenBOM. You can watch the video here: xLM Solutions and OpenBOM Collaboration.

Why OpenBOM Works Well for xLM Solutions and Their Customers

Mark points out that OpenBOM is one of the easiest systems to work with compared to other PLM platforms they support. Its straightforward design and flexible tools make it practical for a wide range of business applications. Here are some of the ways xLM Solutions has helped customers succeed with OpenBOM:

Getting Started with Implementation

xLM Solutions helps businesses set up and configure OpenBOM based on their specific needs. This includes tailoring the platform so that it fits naturally into their existing workflows, making adoption smoother.

Customizing for Unique Needs

Every business is different, and some need extra customization. xLM Solutions works closely with customers to develop scripts and workflows tailored to their operations. OpenBOM’s flexible design makes this kind of customization straightforward and effective.

Providing Training and Support

A key part of using any system successfully is knowing how it works. xLM Solutions offers training to help teams make the most of OpenBOM, along with ongoing support to answer questions and solve problems.

What Makes OpenBOM a Good Fit

Mark also shared some thoughts on what makes OpenBOM stand out:

A Simple, Easy-to-Use Interface: OpenBOM’s user interface is designed to be clear and approachable, making it easy for businesses to start using without a steep learning curve.

Customizable Tools: OpenBOM’s user-defined commands are particularly helpful for adapting the system to specific business requirements, saving time and effort.
