PLM vendors have struggled to break into the SMB market, but their approaches–mostly […]
Mass customization rocks. It’s the reason my computer is just like yours, but with a different graphics card. It’s why our cars look the same on the outside, but yours has a manual transmission. And it’s why I can finally eat candy that has the Green Bay Packers logo. Vive la variant! Of course, if […]
Product lifecycle management (PLM) software systems are not simply one piece of software, but a means by which enterprises can connect their various parts and functions (concept, detailed design, manufacturing, marketing, etc.) into one cohesive system.

When an organization makes the decision to implement any new technology, it often requires changes in established procedures, processes, and user behavior. Before implementing 3D CAD for the first time, organizations should map out their current design processes, assess the needs of their engineers, and establish the objectives for transitioning to 3D CAD. After evaluating […]
