2 Agile PLM Overview

The Agile PLM suite of solutions covers five primary areas of product lifecycle management:

Agile administrators use Agile Java Client to set up and maintain settings for these solutions.

The Agile Application Server, the foundation of the Agile suite, manages data stored in the Agile database. All Agile data is contained or organized in business objects that are set up by the administrator, and specified and used by the enterprise's Agile users. For instance, the administrator configures the Parts class of objects, and users create and deploy specific instances of the kinds of Parts made available to them. Business objects is a general term that implies objects created from the classes available to the enterprise, but other entities in Agile are also objects, such as workflows, searches, reports, and so forth.

The following figure shows relationships between the Agile functional components, the primary client applications used to manipulate the data (Agile Web Client and Java Client), and the Agile Application and Database Servers (the database where the data is stored).
