Sunday observation – Who will play role of Google Maps in PLM?
Google Maps plays significant role in development of online business applications by providing universal location oriented user experience. This user experience can be leveraged multiple times by different location-based applications and services (Location-based Service). I was trying to analyze PLM and enterprise domain in order to find similar application that can provide universal PLM user experience.
There are some classes of applications that I wanted to mentioned anyway with regards to this domain:
1. Enterprise Mashups (application area emerged from ability to mix data coming from different sources and present it to user.
2. Microsoft Excel Services (high acceptance of Excel user interface make it usable everywhere)
3. Dassault Systemes 3DLive (very promising lifelike user experience comes last year in new DS products).
None of the mentioned above application didn’t emerged on the level of Google Maps user acceptance. So – “Google Maps PLM” still need to developed.
Very interesting post, you will find my thought on it there:

Looking at you recent articles it seems that you start to understand the power of what is called by some people web 2.0. However I am under the impression that you are not yet convince that this power is only possible because of the software stack they are built on.

Yann,
Thank you for your comment!
I think Web 2.0 is first of all related to collaboration and content sharing between web sites. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0
There are 6 core principals of Web 2.0:

1. usage of Web as platform
2. Harnessing Collective Intelligence
3. Data is the Next Intel Inside
4. End of the Software Release Cycle
5. Lightweight Programming Models
6. Software Above the Level of a Single Device
If we talk about platform core Web 2.0 platform is Web.
And I was under impression that majority of Web 2.0 apps in the world developed using something called LAMP stack (Linux, Apachi, MySQL, PHP)

Will be glad to discuss with you.
