Beyond PLM…
I started to blog in 2008 and didn’t stop…
For the last 6 years I wrote ~1800 blogs about PLM and related topics - technology, engineering, manufacturing...
It is about 1’000’000 words …and I learned a lot:What I learned about PLM from six years of daily blogging

Cloud is an outcome of web tech revolution
Consumer IT was on fire during 2000-2010… It came to enterprise in 2010s. It came from consumer tech space (not from defense and large corporations)

Cloud and Consumerization
Web technologies allowed to some companies to deliver product nobody seen before. Social networks, cloud file storage, email, e-commerce. And because of new business models, some of these products came free.
Consumerization trend influenced the way business workers were thinking about their corporate and business software.
