Beyond PLM

Beyond PLM…
I started to blog in 2008 and didn’t stop…
For the last 6 years I wrote ~1800 blogs about PLM and
related topics - technology, engineering, manufacturing...
It is more than 1’000’000 words …and I learned a lot:
What I learned about PLM from six years of daily blogging

Internet 1990s...
Internet Access Windows 95 eBay founded

Smartphone 1990s...
Nokia 9000

Storage 1990s...

It is a generation shift...

Internet penetration

Mobile phones and smartphones

Internet is a new platform

Re-imagining enterprise

Next industrial revolution

Product
Smart, platform and service oriented

Demand for personal manufacturing
Mass-customization and personalization is widely adopted

Value chain economics
Build to order, speed, engagement with consumer

Production economics
Small is a new big. Low barrier to enter for small manufacturers

Top 3 PLM platforms - roots are in 1990s
A lot of history and overhead of integration

Traditional PLM reached their limits
Challenge to keep large PLM
installations up to speed:
● costly
● slow ROI
● hard to bring new functions

The reality of traditional PLM
Product data
Change process

Enterprise systems are stuck between a
rock and a hard place(s)
Single
System
Federated
Platform

Need to think outside of RDBMS
DB size
DB transaction
Response time
Single node DB problem
It won’t scale...

Current PLM paradigm

The era of networks is here...
What common between these platforms?
They are NETWORK based

From “Data Sync” to “Data Link”
Enterise software should stop hugging data

PLM industry risk - “aging platform”

Companies are looking for new solutions
Today’s tools won’t become tomorrow PLM platforms

Re-imagining PLM for the future business
The PLM market has reached a plateau; SMEs do not have the resources to throw at large evaluation and deployment
projects and larger companies are dissatisfied with a technology that has changed very little in the 10-20 years since its
roll-out and offers limited short-term ROI.
The disconnect between customer demands and platform capabilities has led to the need to ask some very important
questions as to the future of the PLM industry and the need for change to avoid extinction.
This session will cover:
● Exploring the desperate need for vendor and software transformation and conflicting paradigms
● Understanding the three major inhibitors of current market growth - global collaboration, integration and fast ROI
● Re-thinking existing design, product data management and business process paradigms
● Clearer cloud strategies as a solution to this rut
● Limitations of turning to cloud because of the security, human factor and integration
● Re-aligning the software offering with the need for more agile, flexible and global operations
