I think that I’m not exaggerating by saying that every conversation about “collaboration” last week started from the Google Wave announcement on the Google I/O conference last week. I’ve seen many initial feedbacks in CAD/PDM/PLM related communities and spoke to many colleagues. I think that the majority of people were…
Analyzing waves comes out of Google Wave presentation. I can see multiple responses and perspectives on potentail use of Google Wave for enterprise. Do you think Wave is future of PLM collaboration?
I’ve been playing with Microsoft Vine Beta last few days. For me this is sort of contextual collaboration. You can put notifications and alerts. You can use groups and places as context. Very similar to 3DLive collaboratoin in my view, but with map.
After starting a massive Excel discussion last week and continuing this week, I got a lot of comments that I was too Microsoft-oriented. And, folks in Redmond, I love you, but we need to check whether or not this is blind love. I will not talk much about the Microsoft…
Look on announcement of Wolfram Alpha: Today’s Wolfram Alpha is the first step in an ambitious, long-term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone based on a new kind of knowledge-based computing… But I see engineering knowledge is pretty uncovered. Do you see engineers in organization can appreciate…
I think everybody cares about Bill of Materials. This is quite fundamental for everything we do in Product Lifecycle Management. I had the chance to discuss many topics related to Bill of Materials < When BOM seeks the right enterprise nanny… >, < Is it time for a synchronized Bill…
Collaboration is a magic word that we use a lot in Product Lifecycle Management. I’d say we also use the word “collaboration” even if we’re just talking about Product Development, Engineering, Simulation, Manufacturing etc. Collaboration is a recursive process where two or more people or organizations work together on common…
In the last few posts, I wrote about how you can use Enterprise 2.0 tools to improve various processes related to product development. I think that Wiki is an easy collaborative platform. I also think that Wikis have a great potential to be transformed into something that bigger from which…
In one of my previous posts, I already discussed PLM process management: Should PLM develop its own process tools?. In reality, I see that companies have many products that have process management and workflow capabilities. Some of them are part of IT platforms (Microsoft SharePoint, IBM WebSphere etc.), while others…
Continuing the discussion about cloud-based implementation of PLM, I started to think about the relationship between current PLM products and various cloud-based services. I think that these relationships and the potential connection between them can provide a route on the cloud for companies who are investing in current PLM implementations….
