My attention was caught this weekend by thedailybeast article with funny title – Why Big Data Doesn’t Live up to the Hype. I read the article and on my long travel during the weekend skimmed over the book Uncharted: Big Data as a Lens on Human Culture by Erez Aiden and…
PLM companies are switching to the cloud. Software vendors are taking different paths and technical strategies – IaaS, PaaS, private clouds, public clouds with high diversity of options and marketing messages. Navigate to some of my previous posts to get up to speed with the topic – Cloud PLM and…
How do you trap a big monkey in a small cage the size of a banana? Easy! You place a banana inside the cage and leave an opening large enough for the monkey’s hand, but not for the banana. As soon as the monkey grabs the banana, it’s trapped. The…
The technology can make a difference. What technological approach can make a difference in the future of PLM? This is a question many of us are asking these days. Ease of adoption is a problem for PDM and PLM from the early beginning. Existing technology created a levle of disruption…
The amount of data around us is growing enormously. For the last 10 years, internet as well as other data source such as mobile devices created a huge stream information. It comes in every place – our daily activity such as photos, videos, online GPS as well as in a…
Yesterday I learned a new TLA – IoT, which stands for Internet of Things. The topic is not new for me. If you haven’t heard about IoT until now, you probably should. You can start from this Wikipedia article and get down to one of my early blogs about PLM and Internet…
Engineering software has a long history of aggregation and disaggregation. In CAD, it was long time about new features vendors added to CAD tools. Ultimately, it was a long run towards new features. Later in the history, CAD industry came to the idea of integrating of various add-on systems into…
Boston is one of the rare places where you meet many CAD and PLM people at the same time at the same place. You don’t need to guess a lot why so. MIT CAD Lab, as well as many companies in this domain, made Greater Boston a unique place for…
Shake-ups are not a surprise these days. It happens all the time and especially in technological fields. The last decade of web, mobile and consumer tech innovations established a solid feeling of something new happens all the time. This “something” will come and change a status quo. Disruption is a…
All roads lead to Rome. Sometimes, I have a feeling whatever discussion happens in CAD, engineering and manufacturing world, it will lead to PDM and PLM. My earlier conversation about pros and cons of having special CAD file sharing tools started here, ended up on GrabCAD blog by Hardi Meybaum…
