I’ll start with a disclaimer. I understand that to start a “format discussion” is at least as dangerous as starting a discussion about CAD interoperability. Nevertheless, I will try to turn this conversation away from “how to invent new universal format” to discussion and focus on “maybe we are missing…
Hello New Week! After having a long ‘cloudy’ conversation last week, I feel like descending from the cloud back down to earth and discuss a few small things in PLM software. After scratching my head for some time, I actually reached the conclusion that productivity in our life is the…
Continuing the discussion about cloud-based implementation of PLM, I started to think about the relationship between current PLM products and various cloud-based services. I think that these relationships and the potential connection between them can provide a route on the cloud for companies who are investing in current PLM implementations….
Previously, I already touched SharePoint on the PLM SharePoint paradox. Thanks to all of you for commenting on this post. I’d like to continue the SharePoint topic in context of the MS Cloud future. After reading the interview with Steve Balmer in the NYTimes, I found this sketch by Mr….
We’ve had a discussion about the future and benefits of cloud applications. Without rehashing the conversation too much, it seems obvious as to how an offering based on Cloud Computing and SaaS/PaaS/IaaS can simplify application development, streamline implementation and improve ROI. But what is the biggest challenge of PLM on…
I definitely think that “cloud” will become the buzzword of the year 2009. As the number of cloud-based announcements is growing, I tried to see where PLM of its into this cloud race. So far, I’ve observed three main trends companies are using to jump on the cloud-related business. 1. …
Continuing the cloud-zone discussion I have started for this week, I found this pretty comprehensive technological map for Cloud Computing, SaaS and PaaS industries on blog of Peter Laird and Kent Dickson. So, where does PLM fit into this space? There are a few service providers that have traditional server…
I’ve seen a growing number of publications related to Cloud Computing and all variations of SaaS / PaaS / IaaS buzzwords. In addition, I’ve learned about a few very interesting trends in Cloud application development during the last week (even though I was actually on vacation). So, in addition to…
I’m sure you have heard about Deep Web. For those who are not aware of this term, Deep Web, (also known as Invisible Web) is part of the Web which is not accessible by search engines. Even if Google has reported passing 1 trillion indexed pages, this is still only a…
I’d like to start a wide topic for discussion – BOM. Yes, Bill of Material. This may seem like an old topic, I think, since most of the work that manufacturers do, starts from a Bill of Material (requirements) and ends with a Bill of Material (built/support/disposal). Therefore, my first…
