Autodesk PLM 360 Takes to the Cloud
March 12, 2012
The hottest topic in technology these days is definitely ‘the cloud’. It is revolutionizing everything from social media to business dealings. Product lifecycle management (PLM) companies are also getting into the act. Rachael King of ZDNet reports that Autodesk PLM 360 Launches as ‘Cloud-Based Alternative’.
Autodesk PLM 360 designs PLM solutions which help companies manage and improve their products. With the steady rise of the PLM software market:
“Autodesk is getting in at the ground floor quickly with hopes of ‘shaking up the very small population of legacy PLM solution providers’ with new cloud-based products being released at a ‘fraction of the cost’ made available from competitors.”
They are also boosting “to be the ‘first cloud-based PLM solution focused on business applications beyond engineering and bill of material management.’”
It is good to see Autodesk making advancements, but we’re not sure we are that impressed. Smaller tech companies like Inforbix have already taken to the cloud, have mobile capabilities and have changed the way companies access their product data. They have already turned legacy PLM solutions on their head by being innovative. So it looks like the bigger PLM providers are playing catch up with their small, but mighty competitors!
