In my opinion PLM vendors currently provide fragmented analytics
tools – Most of them address only a very specific section of the
addressable market need. Also the problem seems to be compounded by the
fact that not only companies implement a closed-loop PLM system thereby
making data collection much tougher. PLM vendors should start taking
note of the emerging trends (specially the “big data” problem) and start
providing value-added analytics products to customers.
