Testing 1-2-3

By Chris Williams On September 2, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In CAD, Enterprise Social System, PLM

This is among the easiest posts I’ve ever written because it’s absolutely content-free. (And, yes, I can almost hear some of you thinking, “Isn’t that usually the case?” — Go ahead — kid me all you like…we dish it out, so we gotta be able to take it.)

“What’s in a name? That which we call a web page by any other name would smell as sweet”

By Chris Williams On September 2, 2010 · 1 Comment · In BOM, Enterprise Social System, PLM, Work Instructions

The well-known musings of Shakespeare’s Juliet suggest that the names we ascribe to objects entail an element of arbitrariness. She implies that the name given to an object is a mere matter of convention. A name – Juliet explains – does not change or describe an object or its qualities… A rose is [...]

PLM vendors to users: Let’s collaborate like it’s 1995

By alex On August 31, 2010 · 6 Comments · In Enterprise Social System, PLM, Press, Social Media

Lately, the buzz surrounding social technology and product development has reached a fever pitch. Three recent posts with different, but intersecting, points of view have me thinking that unless we break out of the same old ways of thinking, nobody — save the incumbents selling [...]

Vuuch: “We don’t see any thing else like it..”

By alex On August 24, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In CAD, Enterprise Social System, PLM, Press

Randall Newton has republished a interview with Chris from last fall. Randall commented then that Vuuch “…does add value to the product development lifecycle, so it fits in PLM.” This time, Randall notes Vuuch is “feisty.” We are enormously flattered by both Randall’s original and updated comments.

It’s nearly lunch time as I begin to write this post. And those of you who know me personally know that the “eating.dll” process is running in my head on a high-priority thread nearly all the time. The challenge of this blog post, therefore, is to somehow deliver [...]

Enterprise Road Kill

By Chris Williams On August 17, 2010 · 7 Comments · In Enterprise Social System, PLM, Social Media

Ever since the consumer embrace of social networking applications there has been a land grab to take social into the enterprise. But guess what the consumer model CAN NOT work in the enterprise!

In the consumer landscape there are entire age groups that ignore email. This is not to say they do not message… they are just stuck on [...]

Follow A Friend Makes No Sense

By Chris Williams On February 12, 2010 · 1 Comment · In PLM, Social Media

I have been thinking a lot about Facebook and other social tools lately. Mostly due to the fact that we used Facebook as a framework or analogy for the new release of Vuuch. As you all know we decided to make Vuuch public even before we had a working product. The idea behind this is [...]

Do Opposites Attract in Business Process?

By Chris Williams On September 3, 2009 · 3 Comments · In PLM, Vuuch

I was reading a comment made by Alan Taracuk about ERP versus PLM relative to business process (PLMTWINE post). And it got me thinking about opposites and how they do or do not attract when it comes to business procedures.

We have all heard the saying that “opposites attract”. In science we know [...]
