However, all existing PLM platforms were created back in the days when “SQL database” was in the mainstream, and therefore all PLM implementations these days, except…
Manufacturing companies are looking into the digital thread of data across multiple stages of product lifecycle as the method to digitally transform manufacturing operations in many industries. In my earlier articles, I shared my thoughts about the evolution of digital thread and the way companies are implementing digital thread from…
Is cloud PLM becoming mainstream for enterprise applications? The year 2022 was an interesting year in the cloud and SaaS PLM development.

I’m continuing the discussion about Digital Thread Evolution. In the first article, I introduced you to the purpose of digital thread and shared my take on the four phases of digital thread development. Check this out here – Digital Thread Evolution Part 1. This is my Part 2 article and…
Manufacturers across the globe are continuing to push forward with transformational digital initiatives, recognizing the need to adapt their operations in order to remain competitive. The emergence of a “digital thread” architecture – an integrated system that connects data from all facets of an operation and enables sharing between different…
Digital Thread and Web of Data The rise of the digital age is making it easier for manufacturing companies to access and share data, but even with all modern applications, cloud-based systems, and integration platforms, manufacturing, and supply chain is still a very fragmented and siloed space when it comes…
Integration was a big deal for manufacturing companies implementing PLM systems for a very long time. It is very rare to see how the entire product lifecycle management process can fit a single software stack. Manufacturing companies were always divided between hedging their risks with multiple vendors and looking at…
