🎙️ I just hosted Episode 6 of the Future of PLM podcast with some of the smartest minds in the space.
Rob Ferrone, Oleg Shilovitsky, Brion Carroll, Brion Carroll (II), Martin Eigner, Jos Voskuil, and Juliann Grant.
We tackled the question nobody wants to answer: Is your PLM system actually solving problems or just creating new ones?
Here's what came out of it:
"PLM should not be a single system. PLM should be a broader set of tools and technologies that manage the product throughout its life cycle." — Brion Carroll
"No one is waking up and saying, I need PLM. Everyone is waking up saying, I want to solve a problem." — Oleg Shilovitsky
"We need something like an umbrella on top of all the legacy systems that breaks the silos and helps us communicate with artificial intelligence." — Martin Eigner
"Companies need to take a step back and not look at technology as a solution, but look at what they're trying to accomplish from a product perspective." — Juliann Grant
The reality?
Half of manufacturers are planning to replace their PLM systems.
Not because the technology is bad.
But because the approach is broken.
→ PLM isn't a vendor's system anymore
→ It's a solution that spans your entire product lifecycle
→ From ideation to service and back
→ AI can't work without it being unified first
We're working on a PLM Manifesto to define what this actually means.
If you're dealing with legacy PLM systems, integration nightmares, or trying to figure out where AI fits...
This conversation is for you.

♻️ Repost this so your network sees where PLM is actually headed
The future of product development isn't about better systems.
It's about smarter solutions.
