How do we move toward flexible PLM Solutions ?
Technology
• Web Technologies• Deployments and Updates made easier. No setups actions on desktops • Most UI enhancements are nowadays coming from the web
• Framework• Make it easier to reuse content, interfaces. Split the taskforce.• Helps spliting the risk in software developments by limiting responsability to specific pieces
of software• Standards
• Make easier the integratiion with other softwares• Make it easier to import data• Even for UI we can benefit from standards (one click/two clicks)
Flexibility risk you’ll hear from not flexible editors?
• Too flexible means difficulty to maintain?• It’s a usual criticism that we get from companies working with older technologies. « see how
fast it goes to change this, it can’t be serious ». The control of the instance has nothing to be related with flexibility. It is based on processes to manage an IT instance.
• Less business features provided ?• PLM has still difficulties to spread best practices that are approved by most companies. Lost
of specific business process which need to be covered by PLM are driven by the specificity of the product.
