Social Networking in Product Development & PLM

by Jenna Dudevoir on April 29th, 2010

Spotted on Twitter today: Nik Pakvasa posted a video of Jim Brown talking about social networking in product development and PLM on the Siemens PLM Software Blog:

I asked Jim to share his thoughts on what role he sees for social networking in product development.  He believes it is still early for social networking in product development. He sees early adopters experimenting with social networking as PLM vendors start bridging social networking and PLM into more streamlined process. He believes that the ability to bring social network chatter about product intent into the product development environment is very critical.
