Will Apps Become A Competitive Zone For PLM Vendors?
linkedin
October 09, 2019
For many years, flexibility was considered as one of the most critical differentiation of PLM platforms. Companies were looking into flexibility as a key factor enabling the PLM system to adapt to a very specific set of requirements from customers. And remember, each manufacturing company sees itself very unique and different. So, flexibility was the key. Check the debates around customization vs configurations - most of the vendors announced they are "configurable", but no customization is required. In such a statement, the key comment was to associate "customization" with code changes, while configuration was considered no code and painless. Well…

Digital Thread Complexity - Can We Trust PLM To Manage Product And Customer Data Lifecycle?

The original article was published on my Beyond PLM blog.

Data is a new oil. Some people like this analogy and some don't. However, the fact is that manufacturing companies are drowning in data. CAD files, requirements, spreadsheets, multiple legacy databases - this is only a shortlist of data you can find engineering departments. If you move outside of engineering beyond the traditional scope of PLM systems, you will find even more data - maintenance, support, product sales, configurations, customer reports. There is a gigantic amount of information. At the same time, a very small amount of this information is actually making its way to PLM databases. There multiple reasons for that - historical complexity of PLM, focus on engineering and design, old infrastructure, high cost of licenses. I'm sure there are other reasons.

Unless you didn't check any publication about engineering and manufacturing software for the last few years, I probably heard about Digital Twin.

Customers are carefully trying to dig in and understand what is behind the flourish marketing slides.

Heading to PI PLMx 2019 in San Diego - Digital Value Chain and Network Platforms for PLM
linkedin
October 05, 2019
I'm coming to PI PLMx conference in San Diego which will take place next month in beautiful San Diego. Organized by MarketKey, this traditional gathering of PLM customers is unique because it is one of very few non-vendor PLM events. In the past, you might remember my presentations from PI PLMx Chicago - How to extract more business value from PLM and PI PLMx Hamburg - Tricky path towards network innovation.

Can Siemens, PTC, and Dassault Systemes compete with Aras PLM?

October 03, 2019
Unless you lived under the rock and didn't look around for PLM news for the last decade, you should know Aras Corp. It was started almost 20 years ago and it made few interesting moves in the past decade developing a very unique model of enterprise open source. I wrote a few articles about Aras, so you can check them out:
