PLM vendors and industry is adopting cloud-based technologies. The process isn’t simple and brings many discussions about what differences cloud can bring to PLM solutions. Few months ago, I attended CIMdata industry and market forum in Ann Arbor. One of the messages was that PLM vendors should be more vocal about benefits of new (cloud) approach and present clear differentiation between on-premise and various cloud options.
Cloud is a big marketing word. However, not all clouds are the same. The devil is in details and vendors preset different strategy related to their cloud PLM solutions.
