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

How to Properly Plan Your PLM Implementation A Complimentary CIMdata Educational Webinar March 26, 2014 11:00 am EDT | 8:00 am PDT | 5:00 pm CET Replay Webinar View Slides About our Speaker Do any of the following statements sound a little too familiar? 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.

Rand Worldwide announced that its Rand Secure Data division continues to demonstrate that a comprehensive data governance strategy is the key to planning an effective and foolproof strategy for data governance. As companies look to map out their organizational goals for the 2014 calendar year, more than 90% cite that the development of a new or enhanced data governance strategy is a key initiative. Rand Secure Data recommends that companies looking to create a comprehensive strategy for business continuity should involve key stakeholders from IT, legal and executive teams and should also consider a strategy that encompasses three core data governance technology solutions; archiving, backup and eDiscovery.    “It is imperative to have a comprehensive strategy when it comes to data governance and retention,” commented Chris Grossman, senior vice president of enterprise applications at Rand Worldwide. “Historically companies have felt safe knowing their data was simply backed up, but recently in instances of litigation

After the success of PDF3D's Version 4 release of their ParaView plugin for 3D PDF conversion, the company's developers have been working closely with engineers from a number of disciplines and industries throughout the world to create the new integrated application, ParaView Plus. ParaView is an open source application designed to visualise both large and complex scientific data on super computers as well as on a smaller scale on laptops and personal computers. PDF3D has taken this platform and built on it over the years to encompass animated, interactive 3D PDF publishing features. "ParaView Plus is a combination of our most popular features from the original ParaView plugin, plus our best ideas from our recent developments in the Geospatial arena. It not only assists professionals working within earth science industries such as Oil & Gas, but also enables engineers from simulation, scientific research and biomedical backgrounds to do much more with their data",
