The future of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is not in single sources of data, but in open and interconnected datasets that are optimized for access and accountability, rather than control. At least, that’s what the “Virtual Dutchman,” Jos Voskuil believes. Jos Voskuil is a PLM expert and the founder of VirtualDutchman.com, an online blog that helps PLM implementers and customers in their stepped approach towards PLM. Jos joins Adam to talk about the future of connected PLM and the part that systems of engagement will play in shaping it.

Listen to Adam and Jos discuss:

• The benefits of a connected federated data environment
• The myth of single sources of data
• How a connected PLM positively can lead to better systems of engagement
• How organizations can start shifting to a federated model
• Multidisciplinary vs. single disciplinary collaboration in engagement systems
