Following my previous post about how PLM can go to mainstream, I had chance to discuss this topic with some of my colleagues. We came to some initial conclusions that I’d like to share with my blog readers. Let me put upfront some assumption with regards to main trends I…
For the last weeks, I have chance to speak with few of my colleagues about PLM implementations and technologies in different contexts. The main point of these conversations was about how to make PLM implementation easy. Few interesting blog posts related to this topic – “A PLM Success Story with…
My short conclusion after very productive discussion about how to move PLM to mainstream. First of all, I enjoyed it very much. Thank you all for contribution! Second point is about people. I agree 100%, people are very important in PLM. People adoption will be key on the PLM road…
I had chance to discuss PLM adoption rate already several time. I think, adoption rate, is one of the factors why Product Lifecycle Management is not coming to mainstream and remains something exclusive. If I look back in the computer and CAD industry history, the revolutions happened when sophisticated technologies…
Short prompt – I’m looking on definition of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Product Information Management (PIM). Product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its conception, through design and manufacture, to service and disposal. [1] PLM integrates people, data, processes and…
During last week, I’ve been discussing with one of my long time friends different types of enterprise systems. Very fast we came to the conclusion that using TLA (Three Letter Acronyms), we stack very fast, and actually we need to figure out what is practically inside and what are those…
I’m thinking, how PLM can become leaner and efficient. In today’s economical situation and even in general, to make PLM leaner will be good step. So, where is the problem? I see 3 fundamental factors that prevent PLM from do so: PLM creates to many high-level expectations. PLM is trying to change…
One of the things that can drive PLM user adoption is ability to provide solution to a bigger user audience. As enterprise software, Product Lifecycle Management needs to think how to extend horizons of their applications. This is, in my view, will extend PLM user base in organization. For those…
I think enterprise software is a lot about lifecycle. Most of enterprise software projects have a long implementation lifecycle; require time for implementation, deployment and training. Following modern 2.0 trends, PLM 2.0 is expecting to change this trend, provide more agile, open and lean the environment. In other words, “PLM…
I was reading an amazing post by Larry Cheng: Relative Value vs. Absolute Value. This made me think about how we are developing PLM today. It seems like we are doing this with very absolute values: PLM allows you to cut costs, optimize processes, increase profits, etc. From the technology…
