Today too many companies are struggling to manage information and the software vendors are not helping with their promises of miracle solutions and having “the answer” when the question has not been formulated.
PLM Savvy is intended to generate thought provoking dialog about managing product information, the business practices and the business systems involved. The goal here is to get to the crux of what businesses are struggling with and to help executive management get past the vendor hype of PLM.

Interesting posts, but Dassault Systemes/ENOVIA need to be added to the list.

You are correct Oleg. Several of the companies have had identity changes over the past few years and the path forward has just been defined for some – such as MatrixOne now being packaged as Enovia and UGS now being Siemens and Agile now being Oracle – I’ll update the links.

Laila,
I was hoping you could do a post about our forthcoming PLM North America taking place from October 13th – 15th at the World Golf Village in Florida. Full details can be found a http://www.plmnorthamerica.com and its important to note the key theme of how to maximize the investment in PLM. I have a detailed overview I would like to share with your readers. Can you drop me an email so we can discuss further.
Regards
Laurence Allen

Laurence,
I’m not currently planning on maintaining an “events” page, however will leave your comment here for people to refer to. In addition, I would be happy to discuss your event further – you had not left an email address for me to reach you at, however I have called the event office and will call you at the UK number they provided.
I do believe there is tremendous value in your summit, in that it is truly vendor neutral which is greatly needed.
