New trend is here: digital transformation

“Analog” life before internet...

Digitalization of photography
1984…
...2017
Photography changed, but it changed all processes around it as well…

Digitalization of driving process

...driving in 2017

Digitalization and PLM Cloud Evolution

How to expand product lifecycle to physical world
As-designed As-manufactured As-built As-Maintained
Virtual Physical
Physical to virtual loop

Analytic, Big Data, Machine Learning

PLM and connected products
An increased emphasis on analysis
programs that can condense large
volumes of IoT data into actionable
information, as well as smart’ programs
that can augment or replace a human
operator. Aggregated data gathered
from IoT devices can undergo
sophisticated data analysis techniques,
or analytics, to find patterns and to
extract information and knowledge,
enhancing decision-making.”
IoT will demand re-architecture of PLM backbones

Complex systems are vulnerable
Gall's Law:
“A complex system that works is invariably found
to have evolved from a simple system that
worked.”

Old top-down PLM implementation looks like this…

A better approach...

Components of agile PLM paradigm
PLM platform
State of mind
Biz dev tools
New ways to
implement system
can change PLM
paradigm
Core technology, data
modeling, app and tools
Tools to plan product dev
and business processes
Think days of implementation
and hours of deployment

Product development challenges

Traditional collaboration is dead

Future collaboration model?

PLM workflows are hard to implement
Inflated expectations of enterprise workflow
applications
Implementation workflows – devil is in details
How to kill PLM workflows dream?

Interactive behavior
1. Instant communication
2. Live context
3. Connected data
4. Data sharing

The future communication model

How to start Digital Transformation Process
1. Don’t force 100% transformation
2. Simplify terminology
3. Rethinking “record management”

Roadblocks for digital transformation
1. Fragmented data
2. Single tenant systems
3. Quick ROI is a big deal

Role of Networks in Digital Transformation
Network connecting people
& products (eg. social
network, phone network)
Marketplace & money
transactions (eg. online
catalogs, trade sites)
Platform including developers
and users (online OS, messaging
app, SaaS app)
Virality + Economy of Scale + Network Effect

So… what is next?

PLM - biggest market pain points
1. Single platform mousetrap
2. Implementation & ROI speed
3. Manufacturing status quo

PLM - next five years
1. Data networks
2. Intelligence and analytic
3. Platform transformations
4. Battles for lowest TCO

PLM paradigm shift: data control vs data intelligence

Manufacturing future belongs to networks
