Webinar: How Will Global Enterprises Use the Cloud in PLM?

Many companies have watched the cloud hype with skepticism, particularly when it comes to product lifecycle management (PLM), yet some are finding an increasing range of situations in which using the cloud for PLM can make sense.


Many companies have watched the cloud hype with skepticism, particularly when it comes to product lifecycle management (PLM), yet some are finding an increasing range of situations in which using the cloud for PLM can make sense.

Some of these circumstances include supply chain collaboration, joint ventures, connected product design feedback and others that require PLM capabilities outside the scope of existing corporate PLM systems.

How will these challenges impact the business of engineering and transform the way multinational companies combine existing PLM environments with the cloud for better results?

In this webinar we will discuss:

  • Market dynamics affecting PLM requirements at global companies
  • Different conditions and circumstances in which the cloud works well with PLM
  • New approaches for using the cloud to address certain challenges
