The whole IT world is talking SMAC: social, mobile, analytics and cloud. 99 out 100 industry analysts agree that these are the major trends that are affecting everything. The big question is are they actually changing everything? That is one of the current points of discussion in the product development and innovation space, where some claim we are undergoing yet another industrial revolution. SMAC is combining with new fabrication methods, like 3D printing, and industrial organization schemes (enabled by social technology) to cause some shakeups, perhaps even causing some disintermediation (I love that word). But is this a revolution? Being a geek I often return to first principles like the dictionary in these situations. Dictionary.com provides the following definition: In this case, the “established government or political system” is the dominant PLM paradigm. While I admit, there are some skirmishes on some fronts, the revolution will not be televised any time soon, but

We have experienced PLM implementation failures in the past. We are new to implementing PLM. Our last PLM implementation failed to demonstrate the value we were expecting. Our users have failed to realize the benefits of the last implementation. We did not have the right level of knowledge for our last PLM implementation and it did not work out well.   Based on CIMdata's over 30 years of experience in the PLM industry the answer is probably a resounding YES! Selecting appropriate technology for PLM is only part of the story. Properly implementing your PLM system can have a significant impact on how well PLM will support your business.
