Oxford, England. June 29, 2010

Building on its work on PLM standards, the PLMIG has published a 10-Year Vision for the PLM industry to aim for by 2020.

The current lack of a clearly-defined Vision for PLM means that commercial pressures will continue to randomize the marketplace, and that the future situation in 10 years' time will be much less advanced than it could be.

The PLM Industry Vision defines a clear picture of where the industry could be by 2020, and how it can prepare for the more advanced PLM that lies beyond.

The PLMIG definition is a starting point in the process of deciding how to develop the industry. It is published at www.plmig.com, and is open to comments and feedback from all PLM professionals. The aim is to use the Vision as the basis for a widespread and constructive debate about the direction of PLM.

The PLM Interest Group
The PLM Interest Group is a global Group which brings together its members to work proactively to solve their PLM problems. It has previously run workshops that have produced the PLM Benchmarking Handbook; the PLM-SCM Guidebook; and the PLM Maturity Reference Manual; and launched the first vendor-independent User Forum meetings.
