I want to come back to multi-tenancy. Over the past few months, I shared my thoughts about the importance of multi-tenant platforms in PLM and the role multi-tenancy will play in the future of PLM development.. You can catch up on my writing. Here are a few links Who will…
Interconnected Virtual Cloud Concept with Multiple Clouds I want to make a confession. I’m a data person. I have a passion for data and how data can be used. It is fascinating to see how modern data management technologies can help to design better software for engineering and manufacturing. And…
Just a few days left before the year 2020 will be here. The past decade was the time for PLM software vendors to learn and experiment with cloud systems. I read my blogs from the 2010s. Many of those articles are reflecting the debates we had about cloud computing and…
The year is going to the end and this is the usual time to publish “what is important in the next year” blogs. I will not disappoint you this year and will share my thoughts about 2020 and beyond. Here are two articles (in case you missed). Next decade of…

To decide what PLM to chose is a hard job these days. Everyone in the PLM business is focusing on helping manufacturing companies to design better, faster, cheaper products. Everyone is IoT, cloud, connected, intelligent and focused on user experience. Everyone is capable to produce a nice video and when…
I’m on my way to Las Vegas to attend Autodesk University 2019. The event is an annual extravaganza of everything you can see and learn from Autodesk – product, technology, community, people. It is a perfect place to catch up and meet people. Because AU is such a big event,…
The idiom I put in the title of the blog is a cliché of the startup community. It is rooted in the idea of “iterative” software development – ship and fix and then ship it again. Opposite the idea of a long development cycle, the idea is gaining interest in…
Cloud is here. Most industries are not questioning cloud technologies, applications and business models. But, in manufacturing and PLM, the story is a bit different. Earlier this week, I discussed Why big PLM vendors speak about cloud adoption. The conclusion, in a nutshell, is simple. Manufacturing companies are moving their…
There is an elephant in the room – PLM vendors business models are built for data locking. You can hear vendors themselves are talking about it. Watch Aras SVP Marc Lind speaks about it here. Digital thread and digital transformation of manufacturing companies bring the question about standards (or interoperability)…
