PLM and Cloud Computing
April 6, 2012
The integration of cloud computing capabilities into product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions has rendered this technology a flexible and cost-effective choice in corporate research and development (R&D) departments, particularly as workflows become more cross-functional.
In his article “The Rise of Cloud Computing Extends to PLM,” which appeared in Food Manufacturing, Eric Marks comments on the impact of corporate PLM solutions deployed through the cloud and urges PLM manufacturers to integrate this capability into their products:
“Most industry analysts (Forrester, Gartner, Frost & Sullivan, ARC and The Yankee Group) covering IT agree that the power and potential of cloud computing, properly leveraged and deployed, can have a significant impact on the PLM industry. PLM customers are giving serious consideration and evaluating their PLM business processes in regard to how to run them seamlessly and securely connect them to cloud-based data sets. This is to say that today still few are fully deployed. It is still in the infancy stages of use even if the technology has matured. It is still curing.”
Inforbix, whose scalable and secure data management solution already offers proven cloud-based integration, has demonstrated itself to be on the cutting edge of PLM providers with its dedication to offering robust but nimble technology to its cost-conscious clients focused on streamlining and innovating their often complex product development networks and supply chains.
