[post_content] => Tech-Clarity's Infographic, Successful Products Start and End with Your Customer provides guidance to CPG companies. By embedding your customer in the middle of your product life cycle, your products will be more successful. The infographic, shows that by capturing insights obtained during the shopping experience, you can drive a move successful approach to product development.
To be successful, companies navigate multiple competing pressures. This isn't easy, but access to real time information can help. When you have real time insights into what your customers are doing in the store, you can make better product decisions for superior product execution. This essentially puts your customer at the center of your product life cycle.

The Exploring Cloud Options for Product Innovation and Development eBook shares our thoughts about the cloud software choices available for product innovation, product development, and engineering software including PLM, PDM, CAD, CAE, and more. The eBook details the different software models available and provides considerations for each. It also helps put the various options into context with a sample flowchart on the decision to identify the appropriate deployment platform for a cloud solution, including how to consider your existing vendors' solutions in the process.

Software for product innovation, product development, and engineering – including PLM, CAD, and CAE – has evolved toward the cloud at a cautious pace. This market is closer to the beginning of the cloud transformation than some others such as CRM and ERP where cloud adoption is already more prevalent. But it’s happening. Initial skepticism is fading away and companies are learning how to effectively manage cloud software.
The market is responding with the entry of new cloud offerings and incumbents evolving to the cloud. For manufacturers planning to implement or replace product-related software, it’s time to develop a strategy that reflects the reality of today’s market. The strategy needs to consider:
A considered cloud transition is important to reap the benefits without major disruption. Most companies are taking a very deliberate, methodical approach to leverage the cloud. For most, a staged program with a hybrid mix of solutions will be the most reasonable approach, as few companies can justify wholesale replacement of existing systems.
Fortunately, companies may not have to do it all on their own. They can adopt a pragmatic, staged approach that coordinates with their vendor’s timeline. Many existing vendors have predefined relationships with cloud services companies and trained service providers. These partnerships can provide an IaaS or managed services approach that provides benefits without having to replace existing software. In addition, many vendors offer complementary solutions that provide unique opportunities only realistically available from the cloud. It’s important to understand the potential of these solutions in your transformation strategy.
The transition to the cloud is underway. It’s time for manufacturers to take a closer look and develop a practical strategy and timeline that works for their business.

[post_content] => To help manufacturers prepare for the future of product design, PTC has released a new eBook, 10 Expert Insights : The Future of Product Design in the Age of Smart & Connected Devices. Michelle Boucher's contribution, New Possibilities with IoT, shares her thoughts on the future of product design. In this section, she explains how the Internet of Things will empower product development teams. With IoT, design teams will have access to information about product operation in ways that have never been possible before. As a result, they will have insights they previously could only have dreamed about.
The eBook also shares thoughts from nine other industry experts. While reviewing these perspectives, you will have new ideas to help prepare for the future of product design. You can download the eBook here (free of charge, registration required).

Welcome to the IIoT
How Product Line Engineering (PLE) Creates a Competitive Advantage: Removing Time, Cost, and Complexity from the Systems Lifecycle discusses the growing importance of embedded software in today's products and the resulting complexity. The report highlights the negative impacts of not managing this complexity. Despite these impacts, there are benefits of using the right software. Those using the right software can better manage complexity. As a result, they see improvements in quality, efficiency, innovation, and development costs. The report explains this further. It also describes how Product Line Engineering (PLE) fits in and four things to look in a PLE solution.
Please enjoy the summary below.

Tech-Clarity's research report, Composites State of the Market: Using Composites as a Competitive Advantage, examines survey findings on material trends and composites. Over 240 companies participated in the survey. The research finds that new materials are a significant source of product complexity. The research also finds that of new materials, composites in particular, will see a lot of growth. However, there are engineering knowledge gaps when using composites. The report highlights how Top Performing companies supplement their engineering knowledge so that they can successfully develop and produce composite parts.
