“Demystifying Modern PLM” is a four-part online virtual event for manufacturing companies, engineers, contractors, and suppliers who work in a modern online industrial world where they need to collaborate with teams located everywhere, and they must embrace the best technology to deliver innovative products. In this web event the co-founders of OpenBOM™, a leading SaaS digital network-based global collaborative platform, and Share PLM, a leading education technology company, will focus on sharing their knowledge and experience of developing modern PLM systems. These four interactive sessions will cover the Technology, Product, Marketing, and Education aspects of modern product development environments, and focus on best practices that both companies have gathered through their work with customers across the globe. https://www.shareplm.org/openbom-share-plm-webinars/

Database is just a tool
Files Databases and
P2P Integrations
Data and Integration
Hubs
Online Services
BOM in Excels,
PDF drawings, etc.
No integration.
Sent via emails.
Enterprise Systems
(MRP, PDM, PLM,
ERP), etc. integrated
with point to point
Centralized system to
store all data
(integration hubs,
search, noSQL, etc.)

12. HOW DOES CLOUD/SAAS MAKE PLM
DIFFERENT?

13. How Cloud / SaaS Makes Things Different In PLM?
SaaS / Cloud is about technology and not about subscriptions
© OpenBOM, 2021
● Cloud and SaaS doesn’t make things different
○ Subscriptions (SaaS?) can be used even with desktop apps
● A combination of new data architecture and SaaS makes a difference
● Here are 3 reasons why
○ Connected data sets
○ Global scale
○ Intelligence and analytics

14. How Does SaaS/Cloud Impact PLM Software Vendors?
I will survive…

15. WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES FOR COMPANIES
SHIFTING TO MODERN PLM TECHNOLOGY?

16. Main Challenges To Switch To Modern PLM
© OpenBOM, 2021
● Legacy data makes things hard
● Integrations with existing tools
● Data acquisitions is a must have
● People are really hard
● Ability of people to change is a killer
