Abstract

Enterprise adoption of a Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) system is a multi-faceted process that can be
simplified by choosing the right information technology (IT) deployment model. Cloud computing has been
described as a technological change brought about by the convergence of a number of new and existing
technologies. The paper provides a review of the main developments in the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process)
methodology as a tool for decision makers to be able to do more informed decisions regarding investments in
new paradigms that IT offers. The AHP methodology is a multi-objective, multi criteria decision-making
approach that employs a pair-wise comparison procedure to arrive at a scale of preferences among a set of
alternatives. The selection process of the alternatives is not possible from the result of the financial analysis
alone. Identification of the scalability and the risks assessment as criteria’s give us the comprehensiveness of the treated problem.
Keywords: AHP Methodology; adoption; PLM software system.
