We are in the middle of significant paradigm shift. Consumerization, cloud, mobile. This is only a short list of influencing factors changing the way we develop PLM products these days. Paradigm is a “framework of basic assumptions, ways of thinking, and methods” held by its practitioners. New PLM development are triggering…
Graphs are fascinating. I think, we like graphs more and more these days. I like graphs a lot because in my view graphs are reflecting a variety of relationships we have in real life and computer applications. Design and manufacturing software has a lot of dependencies on graph data models….
PLM implementations are complex. How many times have you heard about that? I think a lot. Last 15-20 years of PDM/PLM business demonstrated that PLM and ease of implementations are not coming together. If, in addition to that, you ask for low cost, people might be thinking you are joking. I’ve been…
Disruptive innovation, technologies, products, services… I think we like the word “disruption” these days. This is such a tasteful and colored word. It can provide a new look to anything that goes afterwards. So, let me see if I can put a disruptive color on PLM. I’ve been reading Jos Voskuil…
The scalability of enterprise systems is an interesting topic. Enterprise IT usually keeps the story about scalability of systems close to their chest. It involves data centers, databases, channels, networks, latency, and many other aspects that allows you to tune your enterprise PLM. And I know, it was absolutely true…
PLM implementation requires the change. I’m sure you had a chance to hear about it more than one times. The idea behind that is somewhat simple – PLM implementation eventually going to change the way you are doing business, your product development processes, intercommunication between people, systems and, of course,…
As we move towards the end of the year, we will see more posts with trends’ reviews for 2013. While it is really hard to predict “next big things”, these posts usually provide a good perspective on what is going on. Earlier this week, my attention caught by Gartner’s Top…
CAD and PLM means a lot of data these days. Thinking about growing complexity of products, the amount of information systems needs to proceed is certainly growing. In order to keep up with a growing amount of the information CAD and PLM vendors will have to bring new methods and…
One of the biggest issues PLM vendors want to solve today is “PLM adoption”. PDM/PLM moved from a toolbox to out-of-the-box (OOTB), from OOTB to industry best practices. Cloud is another promise. Another buzzword PLM industry is using today is “social”. In my view, the best way to learn about…
There is a lot going on in database space these days. Few days ago I posted – PLM, RDBMS and Future Data Management Challenges and I’ve got quite a few comments discussing multiple data management and modeling topics. My main point in that post was an alert to PLM to…
