By Beth Stackpole – In the 2000s, CAD was in a rut. Sure, there were regular updates with lots of new power features, but the advances did little to attract or inspire new users beyond the traditional base of CAD jockeys. Other emerging design platforms like Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and new Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools grabbed the spotlight. Lately, CAD has made a resurgence. Thanks to an array of new 3D modeling advances and, in some cases, a complete rethinking of how CAD functionality is delivered, we’re starting to see an exciting generation of new platforms.

By Mathieu Baissac If you are like most software or intelligent hardware companies, you are either offering or seriously considering licensing your products on the basis of usage. Sure, for most, perpetual licensing will not disappear anytime soon, but market forces and the long-term financial performance of your business make usage-based licensing inevitable and desirable. So what is the definition of usage-based licensing? IDC defines usage-based licensing as: Usage based pricing/ Pay-per-use (PPU) software pricing provides enterprises with an annuity license model where cost is based on metered use of a software resource. Cost is determined by a periodic measure...

By David Prawel – We’ve been hearing about PLM for a long time now — probably at least a decade. But I’m only recently really starting to hear about people really benefiting from PLM. Does it really take that long for something that sounds so good to work its way into real business value? Yes. I figure it this way: It takes at least a few years for management to recognize there is a problem with the way things are done and that maybe there’s a better way. Management generally ignores anything that involves new technology for at least a few years because they can’t count it and because they think engineering/design people always want the latest technology simply because it’s cool.
