RLM Apparel Software, a solutions provider to the fashion industry, will set up integration between Cushnie et Ochs and a third party logistics provider for both their inbound and outbound distribution and will implement the end-to-end solution with Go Live for Fall shipping 2016. RLM Partner and Vice President of Product Development Rick Lynn states, "We are proud that RLM Software solutions are integral to the growth of the Cushnie et Ochs brand. Their design team will be issuing their sample fabric purchases within the RLM Apparel Software system, which will give visibility into seasonal costs for design and development. Cushnie et Ochs uses high quality fabrics and does much of their production domestically in New York City. Through the RLM Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) module, they will track fabric purchasing requirements, along with fabric inventory and consumption with different contractors. Sales and merchandising will utilize RLM Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for order fulfillment,

India's Tata Consultancy Services, a leading global IT, consulting and business solutions firm, has topped the customer satisfaction ranking for the third consecutive year, according to a survey on Europe's largest service provider performance.  Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) topped the ranking for the IT services industry and was also rated number one across all nine individual key performance indicators (KPIs).  The survey conducted across 13 countries in Europe by Whitelane Research in partnership with PA Consulting (in the UK & Nordics) is based on the experiences of more than 1,500 business leaders, who oversee 4,500 IT services contracts with a combined annual total contract value of over 40 billion euros.  "To be endorsed as the satisfaction leader in Europe by 1,500 CXOs, validates that we are continuing to be relevant to our customers as they look to significantly transform their businesses," said N Chandrasekaran, CEO and Managing Director TCS.  "We believe that the most important

On 1 March 2016, Siemens PLM Software and Autodesk jointly announced they will take steps to improve interoperability between their respective product lifecycle management (PLM) software solutions. In the agreement the companies state they will “share toolkit technology and exchange end-user software applications to build and market interoperable products.” They did not specify which software, but by providing access to their respective toolkits each company will have available the other’s official programming interfaces to read and write native data files. While not groundbreaking, since most solution suppliers already reverse engineer data access, the sharing of official interfaces should result in solutions built on more stable and upgradeable data interoperability. CIMdata welcomes this cooperation and views it as indicative of a growing acknowledgement by solution providers that their clients live in a multi-CAD, multi-solution world. By exchanging end-user applications, Siemens and Autodesk hope to improve on the larger issue found in geometric

Key takeaways: IBM’s executives made it clear that IBM is “all-in” on the cloud and mobile, the foci of the event, and they continue to make investments and acquisitions to build out their capabilities IBM has many strengths dispersed across several groups in PLM for smart, connected products, and customer cases are emerging that highlight their breadth of capabilities One thing IBM brings to the table that the traditional PLM solution providers do not is a long history and significant investments in analytics and cognitive computing Billed as “The Premier Cloud & Mobile Conference,” IBM InterConnect 2016 is a sprawling event that had the Mandalay Bay Conference Center bursting at the seams with over 25,000 people from customers, partners, and IBM. IBM created this event last year by merging three separate events: Pulse (focused on their Tivoli offerings), Innovate (Rational), and Impact (WebSphere). All of these product offerings, and more, were on the exhibit

Key takeaways: Few PLM implementations achieve their original goals and often end up as PDM silos that struggle to evolve as business needs change PLM is usually not enabled with a single technology and no solution provider has a complete end-to-end, top-to-bottom solution that fully enables an organization’s end-to-end PLM needs Enabling PLM requires a platform that is capable of filling in data and process gaps to connect system silos into a holistic solution that meets current as well as future business requirements An organization’s PLM platform should be easily configurable to support future requirements without exorbitant cost and effort Aras Innovator case studies show its ability to fill in PLM process gaps and tie disparate product definition silos together, and according to their clients, has the platform capabilities needed to help them achieve their PLM vision CIMdata has been in PLM since before the acronym PLM emerged. Over the years we have seen product complexity

NEC Australia and Microsoft will co-develop IoT solutions for clients in vertical markets including manufacturing, retail, health and transport using Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform and Azure IoT Suite. As a strategic partner, NEC Australia will be using Azure IoT Suite to solve new business challenges, which include solutions for public safety, transport, asset management, health, remote monitoring and predictive maintenance.

The IoT Suite can be integrated with Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Storage, Azure DocumentDB, Azure Web Apps, and Microsoft Power BI. Azure IoT Hub is Microsoft’s cloud-gateway service, which helps secure, provision and maintain IoT devices as well as allowing devices to talk with each other and to services hosted in the Azure cloud. NEC Australia was selected because it could demonstrate a deep

Designed for 3D CAD analysis, 3D viewing, technical documentation and 3D publishing, the KISTERS 3DViewStation is intended for use by engineers, designers and other downstream consumers of 3D data. Its primary function is to provide immediate visualisation and analysis of large 3D CAD models, much faster than any alternatives on the market. For designers, the software allows quick pre-viewing assemblies, enabling the user to find the part they are looking for, without having to open and navigate unwieldy native-format assembly data. Since its introduction to the UK market, the software has generated a high level of demand. For Design Rule, the only UK distributor of the software, the feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. “We tried and tested many 3D CAD viewers,” explained Ian Colley, engineering and QA manager of video game giant, Sega Amusements. “We settled for 3DViewStation as it was by far, the better choice for us.
