Solution

Amazon was searching for a Product Lifecyle Management Solution (PLM) and began studying the main Open Source platforms on the market.

The fact that DocDokuPLM was highly customizable was a selling point.
The platform also succeeded going through Amazon security and quality code audit.
Finally, DocDoku agile and pragmatic approach finished convincing the web giant to choose this solution.

DocDoku team has therefore deployed DocDokuPLM on an AWS Cloud Infrastructure (obviously ;), with additional developments to be aligned with Amazon business specific challenges.

John Bennett, Senior Technical Program Manager at Amazon Corporate LLC, is enthusiastically summarizing his collaboration with DocDoku:

“The DocDoku team is obsessed with the success of their customers. They were able to customize their solution to meet the needs of a very specific PLM use case and deploy to our environment on time and under budget. DocDoku made it all very easy.”
