Making Sense of Cloud in a World of PLM
January 5, 2012
Cloud computing is no longer something belonging in the future. It is here and it is now. Many companies are thoroughly confused about their options and sales pitches riddles with gloom and doom don’t help the comprehension but rather increases the apprehension surrounding all things Cloud. The blog, Beyond PLM, recently posted an interesting article about the immediate future of cloud solutions in PLM Costs and Enterprisey Clouds.
With money being the biggest concern and factor in cloud solutions the blog suggests that,
The key to make cloud solution cost effective is to keep the right balance between enterprise IT requirements and capabilities of cloud-based software. Some of these “enterprisey” cloud requirements are reasonable, and some of them are typical “red-herring”. We are going to watch the process of balance finding in the next few years.
We couldn’t agree more with Shilovitsky’s concise read on the cloud situation. It is no longer a matter of ‘do we need cloud?’ but rather ‘how do we transition to cloud without losing our shirts?’. We recommend a company, Inforbix, the brainchild of Shilovitsky which specializes in data management and PLM for engineering firms. They are leaders in their industry and provide just what a company needs – not a lot of expensive add-ons they don’t.
With money tight and IT departments being told to make do with less and less finding cloud solutions quickly and affordably is the only way to survive. Inforbix is able to provide their customers not only PLM solutions but also search that is more accurate and fruitful than traditional search saving companies millions in wasted man-hours.
