I had the opportunity to meet with the Duro team to get an update on their progress. We’re paying attention to Duro because they’re applying agile paradigms created for software development and making them applicable to companies that develop hardware. This is a novel approach that’s proving promising for software-intensive products like those in space, industrial electronics, and consumer device industries. They’re taking a unique approach, adapting PLM principles to agile product development with Github style workflows.
Duro has made significant progress since we last spoke. In particular, they’ve improved customer onboarding, enhanced and extended integrations, provided more configurability, and made their APIs more capable to provide their customers with more process flexibility. At the same time, they’ve grown their team and their customer base.
Duro is definitely an up-and-coming PLM vendor to watch. Thank you Michael Corr, Andrew Pisula, James D White, and Aphrodite Brinsmead for your time.
