2012 PLM Innovation Congress Demonstrates Global Focus on New Strategies
February 22, 2012
As technology continues to grow and the world’s economies struggle to survive the need for companies around the globe to become more efficient in every stage of development increases. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) claims to do just that by offering products and platforms that incorporate every stage of development, streamlining the process and saving significant amounts. A recent article, Aras Sponsors PLM Innovation Congress 2012, on Virtual Strategy Magazine, reports of PLM giant, Aras’, sponsorship of the 2012 PLM Innovation Congress, one of the world’s premier gatherings of PLM knowledge.
As the article explains of Aras and the Innovation Congress,
“Aras, the leading enterprise open source Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software solution provider, today announced that the company will sponsor the 2012 PLM Innovation Congress in Munich, Germany. Attendees at the PLM Innovation Congress will have the opportunity to see the Aras Innovator® suite and learn first-hand about the power of Aras’s advanced PLM platform from Aras corporate community members in several presentations and exhibits.”
While PLM innovations are raining from the sky it seems to many companies forget to focus on the problem of data. PLM helps solve many problematic issues found in the design and production process but will ultimately fail if PLM does not incorporate the practice of finding, accessing and sharing data. Product data access should be the focus of any PLM platform adopted and with leaders like Inforbix companies can eliminate waste and continue to innovate.
