PLM Predictions for 2012
December 30, 2011
It must be the end of the year because all the prognosticators are out and making their lists. Technological innovations are no exceptions and the article “Kalypso Issues Top 5 Innovation Predictions for 2012” focuses on the future of product development, PLM technology and innovation.
Kalypso, a innovation consulting firm, anticipates PLM technologies to look to the sky and find the cloud. The article explains that:
With the recent release of new cloud-based PLM technologies from Dassault Systèmes and Autodesk, companies have a growing list of options for transitioning to cloud-based PLM systems. This, coupled with cloud-based energy savings and the potential to reduce cost of software ownership, will likely draw more companies to these solutions.
They also foresee PLM entering the consumer packaged goods industry. These companies “have traditionally lagged behind other industries in adopting PLM to drive innovation” but that is about to change.
These innovations are very intriguing and we are excited to see what 2012 brings. So what do we think is going to happen in 2012? Well don’t be surprised if Inforbix, a collection of integrated applications that help companies find, re-use and share product data, continues to make a big splash. They had a great 2011 and we see even bigger things for them in the upcoming year. We hope everyone has a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
