The Platformization of PLM

The Platformization of PLM
Peter Bilello, President, CIMdata, Inc.

The PLM industry is entering an accelerating era of end-to-end business platform enablement, and recent development and acquisition strategies illustrate PLM solution provider direction and industry requirements. The shift towards enabling robust and resilient business platforms requires a fundamental change for both industrial users and PLM solution providers. Industrial companies who wish to implement enterprise business platforms now or in the future must rethink their solution set strategy, and how they identify, assess, and deploy enabling technologies. They must also identify and adhere to standards and the openness of interfaces that permit their chosen solutions to be adaptable, maintainable, extensible, scalable, compatible, stable, and reliable over multiple upgrade cycles. This presentation will describe this major industry development and what this means to the future of PLM.
