An exciting new article by Jim Brown explains how PPM software extends the business value manufacturers receive from ERP, PLM, and other enterprise applications. The discussion explains the importance of time to market and how PPM has emerged alongside other enterprise apps to help companies create and deliver compelling, profitable product portfolios. Read the article, Product Portfolio Management: Getting Products to Market Faster on Enterprise Apps Today.
This article was a follow up to Tech-Clarity's When Time to Market Gets Critical.
There is also a great webcast featuring Jim Brown of Tech-Clarity, Monica Alderson of Hallmark Cards and Carrie Nauyalis of Planview. View the replay of this CGT webcast, sponsored by Planview on the topic.

Tech-Clarity is conducting a research study on how top performing manufacturers manage change in their manufacturing facilities. Thank you for your interest and your participation in our survey!
The presentation will discuss the business benefits and resulting complexity of customized products, and how leading manufacturers are overcoming that complexity to improve top and bottom line performance. The presentation will also share a bit about the Rulestream configuration and ETO product acquired by Siemens and how Babcock & Wilcox have taken advantage of ETO processes and technology to improve business performance.
Register for the January 31 event.

Tech-Clarity Insight: The Business Value of Knowledge-Enabled Decision-Making - Improving Product Development and Engineering Decisions shares the perspectives of three manufactures (Kimberly-Clark, Robert Bosch, and Rolls-Royce) on the value of applying knowledge-based decision-making techniques including semantic search and engineering tools. The paper also provides a template to calculate the ROI of a knowledge-based decision-making implementation and offers a representative example showing very tangible business benefits from improved search efficiency alone.

Please join Tech-Clarity and Autodesk on this webinar to share what leading companies do differently in design.
Leading manufacturers start differentiating in engineering, according to results from a recent survey of industrial equipment manufacturers. “What really sets the top performers apart is how they go about designing products," the results show according to Jim Brown. The presentation will share the best practices, engineering techniques and advanced design disciplines that leaders employ to gain an advantage.
Register and learn more about their best practices!

I was happy to be asked to sit on a panel focused on data management at Solid Edge University this year. I presented a keynote earlier in the day based on my recent survey on managing engineering data. Each of the panel members brought a different perspective. Panel members included:
Issue in Focus: Improving Engineering Decision-Making with PLM - Better Products through Information-Driven Decisions discusses the importance of enabling engineers and product developers to make informed decisions when developing products. The report discusses how PLM must provide efficient and rapid access to product information - in context - so engineers can make optimal, information-driven decisions and develop better, more profitable products.
Please enjoy the summary below, or click the report or title to download the full PDF (free of charge, no registration required).
I have been truly touched to see how much support we have received from the industry on our new web show. There have been numerous tweets and posts about what Chad and I are trying to accomplish - start some serious debates about PLM and engineering software issues without taking ourselves to seriously.
From Oleg posting about PLM Edutainment to this post and podcast interview by Kenneth Wong of Desktop Engineering. My thanks go out to those that believe in what we are doing.
By the way, I wonder if that picture of us on the set is me showing Chad the size of the wad of wasabi he will be brushing his teeth with?

[post_content] => See Jim Brown's contributed article in Advantage for the Product Lifecycle, SAP Extends Technical Publishing to the Enterprise. The article explains the opportunity for manufacturers to improve their technical communications processes with solutions like Right Hemisphere, including Dassault System's 3DVIA (Composer), Anark, PTC's Arbortext, Cortona3D, Immersive Design, Lattice Technology, Quadrispace, and others. Beyond that, the article points out SAP's unique opportunity to integrate advanced publication capabilities from Right Hemisphere further into the enterprise.
Note: SAP acquired Right Hemisphere in 2011
Note 2: It has been a while since I have had an update with some of these companies, please feel free to provide insight into them and others so I can schedule some briefings to catch up.
