Cracks in the System
Cybersecurity threats don’t always kick the door down—sometimes, they slip in through the cracks. This month, we’re spotlighting three subtle but serious security risks that could be undermining your defences right now.
Three main goals of integrated PLM
What is most important when considering and looking at a PLM system?
While the core function of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) revolves around managing information—how it’s created, handled, distributed, and shared—its impact reaches far beyond data. PLM influences every corner of a business, shaping how teams collaborate, how products evolve, and how companies stay competitive.
For organisations that embrace PLM, it becomes more than just a system—it’s a strategic foundation. PLM serves as a core pillar of operational success, supporting daily workflows and driving long-term growth. By aligning product data with business goals, PLM helps companies streamline processes, reduce costs, and reinforce their competitive edge in a fast-moving market.
If you're looking to evaluate the effectiveness of your current PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) approach—and the software supporting it—start by assessing its reliability in achieving three critical business goals:
- Design efficiency and productivity
Are you able to deliver the correct design data to any user, on any device, across the company? By securely storing and managing engineering design data and related documents, you can quickly find and re-use design and engineering data. - Cost reduction
Are you able to free up design engineers to focus on innovation rather than administration? By integrating product information with Procurement and Production you can deliver improved quality at lower costs. - Speed to market
Have you automated data sharing across your supply chain? By ensuring data accuracy for each delivered unit you can support field management and turn users into advocates; favourably impacting reputation and facilitating sales growth
MAKE IT EASY, MAKE IT SMARTER
With the creation of robust, consistent, and unified information at its heart, PLM addresses the day-to-day issues that may arise from inconsistent information sources and methodologies, but can only do this if they’re all brought together in one platform. Such a platform can provide an automatic, and automated, connection between the constituent phases and practices involved in the overall PLM process.

Sovelia Vault: The Smarter Way to Manage Design Data
If you are an Autodesk Vault user in the mechanical engineering and manufacturing industry, you are likely familiar with the challenges of managing design data. While Vault provides a solid foundation for storing and organising design data, it falls short in some critical areas. You might have noticed this if you ever wanted to automate workflows or configure company-specific rules and processes in Vault. Let’s dive into these challenges and possible solutions.
