Do you remember discussions about true and fake clouds few years ago? It was a trend among PLM and ERP vendors trying to prove that “my cloud” is the best one. Want to get back and read some of these stories? Here are few links on old posts from me and…
One of the technological trends I’m observing these days is a trend towards granularity. Speaking about marketing, the word granularity sounds nice. I don’t know if I have a right to vote about how it sounds with my “broken English”. At the same time, Al Dean of Develop3D opinion about…
I think, the future of engineering software belongs to solutions that will provide a higher level of granularity. More flexible and granular solutions will be able to provide a better way to be tailored to satisfy customer needs. In the past, I had a chance to write about granularity in…
Few weeks ago, I had chance to post about PLM Data Model. I think, PLM space has a real lack of discussions about data modeling. It seems to me, PLM vendors and developers are too focused on process management, user experience and other catchy trends. At the same time, everybody…

A big part of this shift is data-centric architecture. Data-centric architectures move away from monolithic data management systems towards granular and flexible data model that allows…
Change is the only constant thing in product development. Therefore, one of the most popular questions everyone wants to answer when it comes to PDM/PLM tools is how to go from revision A to revision B? From my experience, it is also the biggest challenge when it comes to PLM…
Bad habits die hard. When you become accustomed to something, it is hard to break out. And the longer you do it, the harder it is to change. Think about trying to quit smoking. If you did it for many years, you will have a hard time stopping doing it….
Data is everywhere these days and I see more and more people taking data seriously when it comes to the business and organization of engineering systems. Back two decades ago, CAD file was a foundation of engineering data. In my life, it was AutoCAD, which became the first example of…
Hexagon’s Article The Digital Thread Comes to BIM brings an interesting perspective on the industrial development of construction projects and how BIM fits in the overall lifecycle of building assets. My favorite passage is this one – This same concept of the digital thread can, and is, being applied to…
