The Giant Foot of Google Wave Will Crush CAD and PLM

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
