Making the value of technology clear
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…
Issue in Focus: Integrating Cloud PLM: Considerations for Systems Integration in the Cloud offers advice and insight on the integration questions companies face as they explore the applicability of Cloud PLM for their business. 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…
I have been giving a lot of thought to PTC’s entrance into the Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) industry. PTC acquiring Servigistics is not your ordinary PLM company acquisition. Why? Because PTC is not just extending their PLM and engineering software capabilities into the service department, PTC is now supporting the business of service management. Game…
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…
