Who am I?1990s: Selling and developing Autodesk apps in Israel 2000s: SmarTeam, Enovia, Dassault… platform and applications for PDM and PLM
2010-12: Inforbix (acquired by Autodesk): Developed tech for cloud search and data analytics
2012-14: Autodesk: joined the team working on PLM 360 and search technologies
2015… Beyond PLM consulting and social media
After 20 years with SmarTeam, Dassault Systems and Autodesk, I’m consulting engineering and manufacturing companies about PLM and technologies

Beyond PLM…
I started to blog in 2008 and didn’t stop…
For the last 6 years I wrote ~1800 blogs about PLM and related topics - technology, engineering, manufacturing...
It is more than 1’000’000 words …and I learned a lot:What I learned about PLM from six years of daily blogging

How to synchronize BOM data across the product lifecycle chain?
● Complete data representation
● Unique part numbers
● Synchronized changed
● To use only “part numbers” (no doc#...)
● Include all scheduled items for mfg
● Decrease # of levels
● Complete approval process
What about “single BOM” idea?
