PLM Competition 2010s and Anti-cloud PLM rap?

PLM Competition 2010s and Anti-cloud PLM rap?

For a very long time, the PDM /PLM market was boring. Not so many events were happened during the decade of 2000s. It was mostly about “acquisitions” of smaller companies by bigger companies. Obvious, large acquisition made historical records – Agile Software, MatrixOne and some others. For me, the interesting PLM…

PDM/PLM and Future Competition

PDM/PLM and Future Competition

Google-Moto deal created a lot of fuss and speculation. At the same time, it created an example of cross-domain innovation, which in my view, worth being analyzed.
