Ok, maybe not ‘Crush’ so much, maybe more like, boot it into the future. You need to drop your bagel, Blackberry or coworker on the ground and run, nay I say sprint, to read Oleg Shilovitsky’s 6 reasons Why Google Wave will Change PLM Collaboration.

Pivotal, my geometry-glazed friends. Oleg briefly points out how Google’s Wave application has direct applications for how we will collaborate in the future. It’s 6 things, I’m convinced, hardly anyone has realized or is even thinking about. How do you think this is going to affect how you work?

Here are the 6 reasons. Read them, read his post and let me know what you think!


Basically here are Oleg’s 6 reasons Why Google Wave will Change PLM Collaboration

  1. Everything can be real-time
  2. Everything can be online
  3. Everything can be embedded
  4. History can be playedback
  5. Data will be federated (synchronized)
  6. Processes with be automated

Note: for those unfamiliar with the acronym and concept…
PLM is Product Lifecycle Management – “Product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing [document and support] the entire lifecycle of a product from its conception, through design and manufacture, to service and disposal.” – Wikipedia
