According to Mr. Bilello, “The PLM industry is entering an accelerating era of end-to-end business platform enablement. Recent developments and acquisition strategies illustrate PLM solution providers’ direction and industry requirements. The shift towards enabling robust and resilient business platforms requires a fundamental change for both industrial users and PLM solution providers.” In his presentation, Bridging the Requirements Gap with Model-Based Systems Engineering, Mr. Bilello will focus on the key challenges that companies adopting systems engineering face. “I see the ‘platformization’ of PLM as the culmination of three irresistible trends: the evolution of personal productivity tools, the migration of discrete end-to-end lifecycle-management capabilities to the extended enterprise level, and greater cross-functional and extended enterprise collaboration,” says Bilello. “During my presentation, I will share key insights and learnings from CIMdata's research and workshops will in a climate of open discussion.” Bilello has more than 25 years of experience in the development of business-enabling IT solutions for research, engineering, and manufacturing organizations worldwide. He has participated in PLM analysis, selection, implementation, and training; CAD/CAM/CAE/CIM implementation and management; synchronous and lean manufacturing consulting; software engineering; and general data management strategy development and support. He has authored numerous papers and research reports on PLM and related topics, and his articles, commentaries, and perspectives have appeared in Page 2 CIMdata PLM Industry Summary publications throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
