In my previous post “Search for the right BOM – I’m feeling lucky? “, I started to discover possible ways to handle Bill of Materials in the organization and extended enterprise. Thank you all for your comments. I think we had a good conversation, so I’d like to continue now in…
This week, I have been getting more intense feelings about “trying to find a new solution for an old problem”. So, giving into this feeling, I was thinking about PLM user adoption. Looking at many blog posts and strategic presentations, enterprise software caught my eye. And so the next question…

All of these terms are about creating a world where designers and engineers are connected with each other as well as…
In my view, open source (or more precisely –open source software) is becoming more and more visible in the business of enterprise software. There is an important characteristic of PLM related to business that we need to keep in mind in order to analyze the impact of open source on…
