Earlier today at Accelerate 2014 in Boston, Autodesk PLM360 team provided an update about PLM360 product, technologies, as well as an early preview of cloud document management for CAD and other files. The “invisible data management” solution supposed to solve the problem of customers looking how to implement end-to-end cloud PLM solution including CAD data management. This photo blog is a series of screen captures from slides and demo done during the event. Note, well known “safe harbor” statement was presented before slides. In simple language, it means not all features and functions demonstrated today will end up in PLM360 product as planned.

What is my conclusion? Autodesk PLM360 document management (cloud PDM) expands functionality to cover traditional PDM system. However, it takes a different – invisible data management approach. Technology wise, it leverage the power of open source consumer web tools and infrastructure. Doc management will complement existing PLM360 solution with new technologies and tool capabilities. New customers (especially cloud friendly ones) will appreciate the ability to have end-to-end PLM/PDM cloud solution.

Best, Oleg
