The 'e' has forced everyone to change the way they work, but what about the 'c'?
SINGAPORE - Ed Miller believes that while the Internet and electronic commerce has revolutionised the way the companies do business, it really isn't the goal but rather the means.
Miller, president of CIMdata, was in Singapore recently as the keynote speaker for the PE21 forum, a Gintic-sponsored event for the local precision engineering industry.
Miller in his keynote speech, addressed the need for the industry to embrace collaborative processes, especially in the product defination management stage.
Collaborative product defination management (PDM) isn't new, according to Miller. "We're just taking the next step," he said, referring to the use of the Internet as an easily accessible platform that was allowed for a faster rate of collaboration than before.
"There is a terrific opportunity here, and we need to utilise it," he said.
