The Digital Thread in a Heterogeneous, Extended Enterprise Reality

A call for PLM Professionals to share their knowledge and experience

The Digital Thread holds much promise and keeps many PLM Professionals busy defining, planning, and implementing it. While still visionary, business cases exist with benefits starting to surface. Full-scale implementations are not yet common. However, much technical work is going on. Alongside the technical work, companies are also investigating and investing in how to deliver tangible benefits to the bottom line. In some cases, technology as an enabler will drive the implementation of Digital Threads, yet in other cases, new processes based on Digital Threads disrupt industries.
