Interesting definition of PLM vs. not PLM provided by Brad Holtz yesterday during his opening presentation on COFES 2009. I think, this is first time I’ve seen “PLM” and “not PLM” definition on a single slide. I will be glad to hear you feedback for this discussion.
Last week I discussed the option of having a new PLM format. http://plmtwine.com/2009/03/31/should-plm-20-come-with-a-new-plm-format/. My conclusion is that the new PLM 2.0 format can be proposed to handle available PLM IP and share it among organizations and people. I see various scenarios possible – supply chain, design collaboration, etc. Today, I…
I’d like to get back to the idea of how to reuse potential of social networks in organization. In the past, I discussed about how to use micro-blogging for collaboration in an engineering organization. One of the questions came after was how to collaborate with right people in organization. In…
I’d like to get back to Excel discussion. I think that Excel is a really good application. And I don’t believe that somebody will argue with me… I’ll go even further and say – Excel is too good! Excel is used everywhere. Manufacturing enterprises heavily rely on Excel in order…

Everybody wants to have “live access”, right?! I think that the marketing world has finally found the right word to explain our expectations from today’s systems. We want them “live” – that means being available all the time (24×7) from any device. I checked this out on Google Trends and…
I’m sure you will agree that one of the definite goals of PLM is to organize product related information. Finally, I can find all my product models, relevant drawings, BOMs, customer requirements, manufacturing plans and suppliers bids. Unfortunately, when I look at the existing PLM systems, I see that this…
Everything in our life is seems to be a project. It can start from a very simple set of tasks that a designer needs to follow up and end with complex product development that needs to plan the work of hundreds of developers, suppliers, manufacturers etc. So, in today’s…
Well, finally it happened 🙂 (April 1 SpaceClaim Twitter AddIn Prank) – the first CAD system to present integration with Twitter. So, is it April-1 joke or something positive happens? I’d try to analyze the following product capabilities – DS 3DLive support for IM, Vuuch Design Discussion, SpaceClaim with Twitter… My conclusion…
