Last month, I started a series of “PLM Glue Technologies” posts which I would like to continue. I titled my Recipe #1 post ‘data modeling’ and Recipe #2 ‘Rules’. Today I bring you Recipe #3 is about processes or what we refer to sometimes as business processes. Process technology is…
In today’s product landscape, almost all CAD manufacturers have developed their own data management tool. I think that basic PDM capabilities such as data revisions, changes, and support for multiple locations have become very connected to a particular CAD system. The main reasons for this are customer needs and the…
While looking at the amazing development of 3D Gaming Technologies recently , I’ve been wondering – is it possible to use all this experience for PLM? I think today’s Gamers will will approach enterprises and will expect similar experience from enterprise systems. Although I’m not sure we are there yet,…
When I posted about my Dream PLM Technologies for 2009 , one of them was Persistent Content. In today’s word, I think that PDF is the most widely used format to keep information for a long period of time. Combined with 3D capabilities, 3D PDF is a very attractive option for…
At the end of the year and at the beginning of the new year, there are a log of posts that are generated summarizing the past and predicting the future. Since I’ve already covered the future in my first post of 2009, “PLM Dream Technologies for 2009”, now I’d like…
Before we put something on a cloud, let’s think how we can take it off… and I really think this is good idea. Like with backups of early days – you can backup, but can you restore? With all the excitement around cloud computing, all these applications will produce massive…
As the New Year is very close, I see this ias a good time to dream about the future. Therefore, I decided to raise “Dream Technologies” for the PLM topic on Think Tank. What are Dream Technologies? Simply, things that I don’t believe can be achieved more than 50%. As…
One of the biggest organizational challenges is to get an agreement about business and organizational processes in the context of Enterprise Software. Since PLM is the heart of all organizational processes related to product development, PLM implementation becomes heavily involved in the discussion about how specific organizational and development processes…
I was looking at the evolution of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and BIM (Building Information Modeling) and found interesting parallels and associations. Fundamentally, for a long period of time, I associated PLM with Manufacturing and BIM with Architecture, Engineering and Construction. After doing some research in this field, I observed…
In my previous posts I already touched on “cloud services” aspects of product delivery and operation. There are multiple examples of cloud services available today, starting from probably the most established Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2, followed by Google, and, as well, the latterly announced Microsoft Azure Service Platform. These…
