Everyone is IoT, cloud, connected, intelligent and focused on user experience. Everyone is capable to produce a nice video and when…
Cloud technologies made huge progress in the last ten years in engineering and manufacturing companies. Back in 2010. You might remember the debates about how the cloud can potentially be used as technology, business model or applications. Check old CAD /PLM conference agendas like COFES 2010. I’m sure you will…
For many years, flexibility was considered as one of the most critical differentiation of PLM platforms. Companies were looking into flexibility as a key factor enabling the PLM system to adapt to a very specific set of requirements from customers. And remember, each manufacturing company sees itself very unique and…
Unless you lived under the rock and didn’t look around for PLM news for the last decade, you should know Aras Corp. It was started almost 20 years ago and it made few interesting moves in the past decade developing a very unique model of enterprise open source. I wrote…

It was nothing, but a set of infrastructure including database code, procedures, some user interface, scripting wired all together after large manufacturing…
The weekend is coming and this is a time for some PLM dramas. Engineering.com and Verdi Ogewell is usually not disappointing. The article published earlier this week Siemens’ New Low-Code Platform Mendix an “Aras PLM Killer?” is a great PLM thriller with the complex scenario, but unfortunately, stalemate conclusion. Read…
Engineering.com Verdi Ogewell’s recent article came with the question – Who is the PLM industry’s leading visionary? Here are a few passages that caught my eye: Many would argue that Bernard Charles, Dassault Systémes’ CEO and President, should be considered the leading visionary PLM ideologue among the commercial system developers…
Image credit Aras.com Earlier this week, I published my Only Aras? article. Check this out. No doubt, Aras made a very impressive journey for the last decade with its enterprise open source business model. Combined with Aras technology, it allowed to Aras to move into the position to challenge top…
Picture credit – World Economic Forum [CC BY-SA 2.0] It has been a little bit over a decade since I started to write my PLM blog. Started with a different name (Daily PLM Think Tank), it was transformed into Beyond PLM after I realize how diverse the range of topics…
Few days ago I talked about the opportunity to create a Future Proof PLMs. If you missed my article, take a look here. CIMdata commentary about resilient PLM platforms capable to sustain future changes suggested Aras found a holy grail of PLM – a system that can be updated and…
