Center of Excellence to Benefit Japanese Enterprises
June 21, 2012
In an effort to introduce product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions to a larger Japanese market Geometric Limited, a PLM provider with a strong foothold in Asia, and DIPRO, a Japanese, a CAD/CAM/CAE solutions provider located in Japan, have joined forced to create a Center of Excellence (CoE). According to the article, “Geometric and DIPRO Partner to Tap the Japanese Market”, on MCAD Café, the CoE is the fruition of a long partnership with a lot of promise and possibility.
According to the article,
“Under the agreement, the two companies would jointly offer PLM, CAD/CAM/CAE, and engineering services. To further strengthen the quality of services to customers, the companies have agreed upon an exchange of human resources, whereby Geometric’s employees will take technology expertise to Japan, while DIPRO’s employees will bring in automotive domain knowledge in context of Japanese culture to the offshore centre.”
PLM providers are not only moving into new countries which traditionally have not fully utilized PLM solutions; they are also moving into non-traditional industry. Previous to the economic bust of only a few years ago PLM was reserved for a few select industries (automotive, manufacturing, etc…) and the wealthiest enterprises among the select. Thanks to economic challenges and the advent of the cloud PLM has moved to more industries, most notably healthcare and finance, and to smaller enterprises. Companies like Inforbix work hard to ensure that small and midsized enterprises are able to receive the same PLM services that once were financially impossible. Through cloud technology and a shift in expectations PLM is now available to most companies around the world.
