Cloud is going to play a major role in CAD, PLM, Supply Chains and SME Digital Transformation; the “if” and “when” are gone.
Last week PTC announced the acquisition of OnShape, a deal of 470 MUSD. These kind of deals always get a lot of attention. But the move by PTC is not about money and buying a competitor, it is a serious step toward cloud based solutions. This also means the democratization of PLM as SaaS is …
Engineers are badly needed to solve climate change, not just with renewable energy but also designing products in a much smarter way
Eurostep learned a lot about Circular Economy in an EU funded project called ResCoM.

Why Your Next Deal May Be a Partnership
I copied the blog post title from an article by Bob Saada, a partner with PwC US based in New York and Benjamin Gomes-Casseres, a professor of business strategy at Brandeis University and author of Remix Strategy: The Three Laws of Business Combinations. It was published at www.strategy-business.com in December 2018. In a very interesting article …
Why a 10+ year old PLM standard is the ideal platform for the Cloud.
