CIMdata has just released a program review called “Autodesk’s Evolution as a PLM Solution Supplier”. For a long time, isicad portal has been convincing Autodesk:) to enter the PLM club: this was one of the reasons for us to publish a summary of the review in Russian.
Now take a look at the fundamental DS slide which illustrates the company evolution:
If you pay less attention to “PLM 2.0” than to “3D life-like experience, Realistic Simulation, Collaborative Innovation…”, all this looks like advanced digital prototyping. I found it funny to imagine that Autodesk and DS can someday exchange their marketing accents…

David,
ReplyDeleteI hardly believe Autodesk will go toward PLM route. At least Carl Bass will need to withdraw his "anti-PLM rap" video from youtube first. I believe Ed Miller of CIMData just figured out the urgent need to integrate for Autodesk products. Some of my thoughts are here- http://plmtwine.com/2010/01/26/plm-for-individuals-integrate-or-die/
