The definition of what is Product Lifecycle Management is one of the most controversial topics in PLM blogosphere and other publications about PLM. Last year, I had a chance to publish the following blog post – How to define PLM?. It provides two opposite views on PLM definitions from Siemens PLM and from Al Dean at Develop 3D.

However, with the importance of all complex enterprise systems, something is missing in the video… In my view, the answer on a simple question – How to get the job done? Complexity kills…

Just my thoughts.

Freebie.
