What I learned this week … came from some discussions with Chris Williams yesterday about my blog post SAP – Too Much, or Too Little Credit for PLM? in combination with a conversation over breakfast with Oleg, author of PLMTwine. In both conversations I kept hearing about who is going to disrupt the big PLM vendors (Dassault Systemes, PTC, Siemens PLM).

I had the chance to talk with … Aras recently to get an update on their open source PLM offering.

In a nutshell, they say, open source PLM means “no more PLM license fees, ever.”
