4. 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:

32. 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
