5-Star Digital Tool Certification
As the owner or provider of a digital tool (e.g., PLM, ERP, etc.), it is important to make sure that it has been properly configured to enable application of the CM2 framework to the maximum extent possible. The IpX 5-star certification process for digital tools will tell you where you are, and what you need to do to maximize your tool's CM2 functionality.
IpX works with businesses and digital-tool providers to ensure that their commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products are capable of providing the most value possible relative to enabling CM2-framework processes and data management.
Demand for better functionality to support the CM2 Model continues to grow as organizations adopt the CM2 framework as their standard for processes. Digital tools such as, but not limited to: RMS, PLM, ERP, ERP, CPQ and MES, are assessed against the requirements in CM2-500 and CM2-600. The objective is to help solution providers and organizations understand the technical and process gaps that exist, the relative significance to their organization, as well as the appropriate resolutions.
Digital tools are evaluated against the IpX CM2-600 digital-tool standard to see how many of its system requirements they meet. The number of stars that are awarded corresponds to the number of requirements met in this way:
