Electronic Industry Focuses on Technology and Open Source
June 11, 2012
While manufacturing may be one of the largest industries employing product lifecycle management (PLM) to keep costs down and processes moving as efficiently as possible other industries are gaining speed in PLM adoption as they realize the many benefits solutions offer. A recent Virtual Strategy Magazine article, “SUB10 Systems Limited Selects Aras Solution Suite Combined with Minerva EHT for Enterprise Product Lifecycle Management”, explains how one Electronics company recently joined forces with a PLM provider with a lot to offer.
Leon Lauritsen, Director at Minerva, was quoted in the article as saying,
“At Minerva, we’ve applied our more 10 years of experience implementing PLM solutions specifically for the Electronic industry into a solution that combines advanced technology with an open source business model to enable companies such as SUB10 Systems to get their PLM projects up and running quickly and cost-effectively with minimal risk.”
No matter in which industry a company seeking PLM solutions may be involved the need for the solution to be open source is a growing requirement as is a quick implementation of the software and/or updates. While those are very important considerations when choosing a PLM provider we also would like to add the requirement of upgraded data management solutions. Inforbix, a leader in the field, is self-described as “…integrated cloud solutions for manufacturing companies that tackle everyday tasks such as finding, reusing, and sharing product data without the overhead of traditional data management systems.” Combine those qualities with competitive pricing and excellent customer service and training and anyone can see how they are among our favorites.
