PLM Providers Catching Up with Technology
March 13, 2012
During 2011 PLM transformed itself as the newest industry to adopt cloud technology. This shift to the cloud has created a new race within PLM providers. A recent article, PLM: Changing with Technology to Stay Relevant, on Formtek Blog, explains the newest developments within the PLM community as it struggles to keep up with a world immersed in social media and the cloud.
As far as PLM providers’ challenges in the twenty first century marketplace the article explained,
“PLM, for example, is no different than any other business application in that it could benefit from capabilities that are enabled from the cloud which include:
- On-demand self-service
- Ubiquitous network access == Access from anywhere
- Resource pooling
- High Availability
- Rapid elasticity
- Measured service
Large PLM platform providers may be the recipients of a slew of media attention having just recently discovered cloud technology for the simplification of services, but other, smaller, providers have been quietly meeting the needs of clients across engineering and manufacturing industries for years with that same technology. Inforbix, a provider of PLM platform technology has clearly defined themselves as leaders in data management services and specialize in aiding their customers in finding, sharing and reusing data across departments.
