Making the value of technology clear
One of the highlights of 2012 for me was the launch of the Tech4PD webshow on Engineering.com where Chad Jackson of Lifecycle Insights and I debate important issues around engineering software. Here’s a quick look at how the first episodes have worked out! Thanks to all for your support, the response has been overwhelming and…
AU 2013 saw Autodesk fully embraces the cloud with one arm while continuing to embrace the desktop with the other. Autodesk demonstrated in Las Vegas that they have made significant headway in moving engineering and design software to the cloud. Last year Autodesk made a major announcement that was said to “change everything” in PLM…
I spoke with Dassault Systemes‘ execs and their customers earlier this week about everything from business strategies, the state of the manufacturing industry, and PLM market dynamics to implementation experiences at the first 3DEXPERIENCE Forum. I am fortunate to have been invited to hear firsthand two highly important aspects of a software vendor’s future: The…

The report discusses existing issues such as what to integrate and how to define roles for different systems. It also analyzes…
The consequence phase begins! See which analyst brushes his teeth with wasabi paste! And make sure to watch the full second episode of Tech4PD on enabling Simulation Driven Design. Remember, Chad and I are doing this because we want to share some very important topics about PLM, engineering, and product development software – but don’t…
A quick peek into some research on Improving Engineering Decision-making with PLM from a recent Tech-Clarity report. The report discusses how manufacturers can improve products (and profits) by enabling engineers and product developers to make better decisions. Is this a new way to define PLM? Perhaps this gets to the fundamental problem PLM solves? At…
