The “new normal” demands agility above all and cloud is a key enabler on this quest.We are going live with the #Tweetchat. Here's the 1st question. #STinsights #OneHCL pic.twitter.com/8wSZY8nXJC
— CTO Straight Talk (@CTOStraightTalk) October 21, 2020
There are a number of reasons, especially dependent on the size of the organization. Individual licenses and infrastructure for smaller environments is cost prohibitive.
— Mark Thiele #BLM (@mthiele10) October 21, 2020
For Orgs that need global accessibility to CAD and or PLM #cloud offers an answer in many cases#STinsights
One additional reason is that cloudification of application landscape is mature in the ERP and CRM but has not still rteached engineering and manufacturing apps. CIOs expectations is to accelerate complete cloudification to engineering #STinsights

A1. All sectors prior to COVID have been disrupting and having to use new tech and think differently. Manufacturing has to revitalise and now even more so with #covid @CTOStraightTalk #STinsights #OneHCL #cloud
— ??? ????? #cloud (@imoyse) October 21, 2020
Multiple reasons
— Alaric Aloor ??⚽️? (@AlaricAloor) October 21, 2020
1. Real-time collaboration
2. Scalability
3. BCDR/RTO/RPO
4. Availability
5. Data availability/accessibility
6. Security/Compliance (as long as the responsibility model is understood)#STinsights
Great list! #STinsights
— Mark Thiele #BLM (@mthiele10) October 21, 2020
The biggest driver is virtualization or remote working which is becoming new normal. Its a new way of working. Some can call it a digital transformation
— Pareekh Jain (@pareekhjain) October 21, 2020
Manufacturing companies were adopting cloud in many functions but design was a slow adopter. #STinsights #OneHCL
Companies are realizing there are other benefits of cloud also such as
— Pareekh Jain (@pareekhjain) October 21, 2020
Real-time collaboration
Scalability
Lower maintenance cost
Always latest version with automatic updates
Time reduction
Intelligence of systems and monitoring #STinsights #OneHCL
Cloud was started in 2006 and people are only realizing this 14 years later ?
— ParkerCloud #BeKind (@parkercloud) October 21, 2020
Design people were reluctant for cloud for many reasons. Other applications were moving to cloud. Now its turn for PLM and other design applications also#STinsights #OneHCL
— Pareekh Jain (@pareekhjain) October 21, 2020
Access CAD applications remotely, increase collaborations, increase scalability, decrease infrastructure TCO #STinsights
— Luca Benporath (@lbenporath) October 21, 2020
It ultimately comes down to virtual access, cost and performance.
— CIMdataTom (@MdataTom) October 21, 2020
Today’s virtual work environment dictates secure, virtual information access, with simplified administration, licensing flexibility, and ease of deployment at lower cost.
— CIMdataTom (@MdataTom) October 21, 2020
Covid-19 and inability to work from office has boosted the request for safe, secure and fast access to #CAD and #PDM environments. Access everywhere, work from anywhere
— Luca Benporath (@lbenporath) October 21, 2020
But of course, there are always challenges that delay progress.A1: @CTOStraightTalk #STinsights #OneHCL
— Kirk Borne (@KirkDBorne) October 21, 2020
All enterprises & business functions are data-driven (or they should be), and product data management is part of that essential equation for success. #PLM on #Cloud is an essential imperative now.https://t.co/qRvJmeenr2 #IoT #IIoT #IoTPL pic.twitter.com/7vemN6poTp
Making big changes requires an end-to-end transformation of people, technology, and processes.Join in the conversation using #STinsights #OneHCL #Tweetchat. And our second question is: pic.twitter.com/YurTNTuBRK
— CTO Straight Talk (@CTOStraightTalk) October 21, 2020
A2: Lack of team skills
— Mark Thiele #BLM (@mthiele10) October 21, 2020
Less than clear vision for how cloud will create new opportunity or solve existing problems
No comprehensive vision for long term ownership of IT as innovation center vs cost center#STinsights
Security was the main concern when I first started to propose cloud PLM more than 10 years ago. We were given those heavy paper books on security standards and only when we had read them all and assure we were compliant we could start a conversation #STinsights
— Luca Benporath (@lbenporath) October 21, 2020
#STinsights #oneHCL .@lbenporath isn't cloud security still an ongoing challenge ?
— Mrinal Sharma (@Mrinal_Sharma) October 21, 2020
Generally speaking #Cloud security is a challenge for those managing apps in cloud. It's the capabilities of the IT teams managing it, not the security provided by the provider. #STinsights
— Mark Thiele #BLM (@mthiele10) October 21, 2020
Another topic that arises is the possibility to get full SaaS from a provider, including infra, applications, support and maintenance. Number of providers that can propose the full stack per use is still limited #STinsights
— Luca Benporath (@lbenporath) October 21, 2020
A2 | #STinsights
— Alaric Aloor ??⚽️? (@AlaricAloor) October 21, 2020
1. No strategic vision to cloud adoption
2. Viewing IT as transactional as opposed to a facilitator/driver of business
3. Security (no not understanding the shared responsibility model)
Five major concerns
— Pareekh Jain (@pareekhjain) October 21, 2020
Security, Compliance
Performance, Bandwidth, Reliability, Speed
User adoption, change in process
Complexity of moving heterogeneous application landscape with different vendors
Implementation challenges - Talent gap, immediate budget#STinsights #OneHCL
Application performance, Data security and access, Uncertain return on investment are some of the concerns from our customers #STinsights
— Luca Benporath (@lbenporath) October 21, 2020
A2. Cloud adoption in my experience always faces some laggard reistance of new tech, arguments for data risk, ingress and egress worries #covid @CTOStraightTalk #STinsights #OneHCL #cloud
— ??? ????? #cloud (@imoyse) October 21, 2020
Next, our panel shares some instances which can show us how it can be done.A2: Major key hurdles for moving to #cloud map to 3 key areas:
— Sarbjeet Johal (@sarbjeetjohal) October 21, 2020
People: culture, sense of urgency
Processes: learning, feedback loops
Technology: legacy, sunk cost, skills

Numerous early adopters have already achieved great success and are a beacon to the future.Time for our third question for the forum. Keep the questions coming! Join the conversation using #STinsights #Tweetchat #OneHCL pic.twitter.com/RwzmGQBuFp
— CTO Straight Talk (@CTOStraightTalk) October 21, 2020
A2 Boeing, Daimler, Dassault Systems, Modelez, Viking Range and more. #STinisghts
— Mark Thiele #BLM (@mthiele10) October 21, 2020
KDP, Nissan, Daimler. Many companies are moving smoothly to PoCs and demonstrators, others with simple migration "as is" from on-prem to cloud #STinsights
— Luca Benporath (@lbenporath) October 21, 2020
Areas #CIMdata has seen success include: Simulation, 3D part catalogs, supply chain collaboration, cPDm-especially for high tech electronics. #STinsights
— CIMdataTom (@MdataTom) October 21, 2020
For close to 10 years now many early adopters have been running PLM systems on the cloud successfully. More recently customers are deploying CAD and CAE applications on the same cloud to leverage new virtual graphics workstations and HPC capabilities of the cloud. #STinsights
— Manish Yashvant (@embeewhy) October 21, 2020
Engineering cloud success has been in automotive sector. Application wise IoT, SCM applications
— Pareekh Jain (@pareekhjain) October 21, 2020
Volkswagen is one example. Industrial cloud connecting 124 plants, 500 warehouses, 1500 suppliers
Denso move all their 130 plants on Factory IoT cloud. #STinsights #OneHCL
The nature of partnerships among stakeholders can make or break future possibilities.A3. The aerospace industry, some of the car manufacturers, Oil, and Natural Gas are some industries that had successfully embraced the move to the cloud. Can't go into specifics due to NDA #STInsights https://t.co/U7XZkr5Xd0
— Krish Subramanian (@krishnan) October 21, 2020
Democratizing access to data can fuel greater collaboration and progress.A big shoutout to everyone on our panel. Here’s our fourth question. Join the conversation using #STinsights #Tweetchat #OneHCL pic.twitter.com/Ue7Tc8KhRj
— CTO Straight Talk (@CTOStraightTalk) October 21, 2020
A4 It’s not dependent on any individual #Cloud offering, that being said, I’d say the biggest hold up for many industrials is more seeing the value of industry 4.0. #Stinsights
— Mark Thiele #BLM (@mthiele10) October 21, 2020
#STinsights #Tweetchat #OneHCL
— Joanne Friedman (@joannefriedman) October 21, 2020
1. collaborate to remove #processdebt;
2. Make Machine Data fully Available
2. create the correct #digitalchoreography for the #IIoT in support of #IndustryX
3. locate analytics at the edge to remove latency
Excellent points. #Stinsights
— Mark Thiele #BLM (@mthiele10) October 21, 2020
More than technology it is mindset issue and perceived risk. Software and cloud vendors need to make customer familiar and reduce risk
— Pareekh Jain (@pareekhjain) October 21, 2020
Highlighting successful examples, developing reference architectures 1(2)#STinsights #OneHCL
Addressing concerns about security, vendor lock in, data migration, reliability, performance
— Pareekh Jain (@pareekhjain) October 21, 2020
Involve service providers to develop solution and accelerators for different industries and use cases like #HCL 1PLMCloud 2(2)#STinsights #OneHCL
PLM is a business strategy; no single provider has everything a manufacturer requires. A skilled integrator can pull all the pieces together to address business issues. #STinsights
— CIMdataTom (@MdataTom) October 21, 2020
A4. Customers fail with cloud much like old legacy solutions where implementation does not align to business needs and drive relevant adoption @CTOStraightTalk #STinsights #OneHCL #cloud
— ??? ????? #cloud (@imoyse) October 21, 2020
What is key for a SI is to be able to manage PLM in a cloud-agnostic way because you cannot dictate a customer which Cloud provider to use #STinsights
— Luca Benporath (@lbenporath) October 21, 2020
ISVs are working to tailor their apps to run on the cloud with adoption of cloud managed databases, file vaults, containers. CSPs are developing reference architectures, best practices, automation. SI's are building packaged solutions, migration and managed services. #STinsights
— Manish Yashvant (@embeewhy) October 21, 2020
System integrators are currently working with both SW and cloud vendors to adapt their solution to different infrastructures and cloud standards #STinsights
— Luca Benporath (@lbenporath) October 21, 2020
And finally, we discuss how the landscape of technology adoption is shaping up around the world.A4 | #STinsights
— Alaric Aloor ??⚽️? (@AlaricAloor) October 21, 2020
Involving and partnering with service providers from the get go (we are one)to
1. integrate security,
2. provide solutions that are vendor agnostic and prevent lock in,
3. Enhance/add to institutional knowledge awareness to assist with migrations
There is a promising trend across the globe but there is much more to be done as we revolutionize manufacturing in the “new normal”.Here’s our final formal question to the panel—but keep shooting YOUR questions, using #STinsights #OneHCL pic.twitter.com/AZZhnEvCiv
— CTO Straight Talk (@CTOStraightTalk) October 21, 2020
A5: I expect automotive to be a leader from an industry perspective. From a geography perspective, I see China, the US and Europe leading the charge. #STinsights
— Mark Thiele #BLM (@mthiele10) October 21, 2020
Mature PLM industries such as aerospace, automotive and discrete are the ones who have the potential to be first movers. However we observe also CPG and process companies are implementing green field PLM on native cloud #STinsights
— Luca Benporath (@lbenporath) October 21, 2020
Geography wise I think manufacturing cloud will mirror larger cloud adoption trend in enterprises. US is ahead of Europe and APAC. Similar thing can be expected in CAD & PLM cloud. 1(3)#STinsights #OneHCL
— Pareekh Jain (@pareekhjain) October 21, 2020
Also like enterprise cloud - SMBs, startups were more open so new startups SMBS will also drive adoption of cloud software in manufacturing industry. 2(3)#STinsights #OneHCL
— Pareekh Jain (@pareekhjain) October 21, 2020
In industry - biggest industry will be Automotive and Aerospace. Both industries are facing market pressures in pandemic and they might leverage cloud to transform.
— Pareekh Jain (@pareekhjain) October 21, 2020
3(3)#STinsights #OneHCL
I am also observing that very large corporations are not necessarily first movers on PLM cloud adoption. #STinsights
— Luca Benporath (@lbenporath) October 21, 2020
I think that depends on the leverage they would have if they use the #PLM providers' cloud as platform. Path of least resistance to life and shit at lowest cost.
— Joanne Friedman (@joannefriedman) October 21, 2020
A5 | #STinsights
— Alaric Aloor ??⚽️? (@AlaricAloor) October 21, 2020
Not a specific vertical per set but the SMB space is seeing a massive growth in cloud adoption especially since March. Verticals/businesses that had been "content" with tech "as-is" are now adopting a "forward thinking" approach.
A5. customers adoption driver before for cloud was a gain of advantage and transformation , much has not changed to adopting to remove pain and enable business continuity @CTOStraightTalk #STinsights #OneHCL #cloud
— ??? ????? #cloud (@imoyse) October 21, 2020
.#CIMdata sees broad interest in cloud and growing demand. Everyone is interested in cloud, especially after WFH/COVID-19. High Tech, startups, fast moving industries are the leaders.
— CIMdataTom (@MdataTom) October 21, 2020
A5. Right now cloud adoption as we have seen with the easy examples of Zoom, MS Teams etc are rapidly surpassing barriers and gaining faster adoption through a need to remote work across the user base @CTOStraightTalk #STinsights #OneHCL #cloud
— ??? ????? #cloud (@imoyse) October 21, 2020
US and Western Europe are seeing the fastest adoption across broad industries from High Tech, Industrial Equipment, Auto, Medical Devices, Retail/CPG. Lately Govt/Aerospace/Defense customers are starting to adopt cloud for Engineering. #STinsights
— Manish Yashvant (@embeewhy) October 21, 2020
With that, we wrap up another session! See you next time!From GEO standpoint, we observe that North America seems to be the one where PLM cloud has most of the traction #STinsights
