Invisible PLM or Document Collaboration with Gmail?

Invisible PLM or Document Collaboration with Gmail?

In my view, the majority of organizations still collaborate primarily using email. PLM implementations have a hard time competing with email to become the go-to collaboration tool. I recently had the chance to see an interesting company, DokDok, which makes software for Google Apps that allows you to share documents separately from Gmail. The strength of this idea lies in its simplicity and “invisible data management” capabilities.

So, what’s my take on this? The idea of sharing documents via Gmail is both simple and powerful. Now, think about similar PDM/PLM tools. You could allow people to collaborate via email while managing documents hidden on shared storage. I believe we need to see more solutions like these—”invisible data management” solutions—emerge in the future. Just my thoughts…

Best,
Oleg
