The new efficiency is where cost saving, productivity and innovation meet. I was reading “The New Efficiency” letter from Steve Balmer. Microsoft sees themselves changing toward a new economical situation. Also, take a look on Microsoft New Efficiency web site with some interesting examples. The “new normal”, becomes something very…
Do you remember, PLM Think Tank is about future crazy ideas? So, here you go – one that I liked very much. However, let me tell you few words before. During these days, a lot of innovative presentations were done on DS Customers Conference in Orlando. Demonstration connection of virtual…
Two published stories drove my attention and got me to think again about various dimensions of social PLM development. Dion Hinchcliffe “Twenty-two power laws of the emerging social economy” and “DS Web 2.0 community platform“. I’d put an interest of PLM providers to discover values of relationship in the new…

I’d like to think about how to improve collaboration… So, why I’d like to talk about “collaboration” again? We got enough collaboration for the past years in PLM. Our primary focus was on how to enable collaboration by seamless access to design, models, visuals, processes in the end. Even so,…
The term “management” is very misused, in my view. Long time ago, somebody told me – if you don’t know how to call it, call it “management”. So, Product Lifecycle Management :)… How we can move it forward? I have heard a lot of discussions about 2.0 trends for the…
Dell’s $3.9bn acquisition of Perot Systems few days ago drove me to think about PLM and Services for some time.
