Biography

Jos Voskuil, aka virtualdutchman from his blog, has been working for over 20 years in the world of PDM and PLM in a unique role:  interfacing between all stakeholders involved in a PLM implementation. Using his experience of implementing and leading PLM implementations in the mid-market during the nineties, Jos has focused on areas of coaching implementation teams, mediating installed PLM implementations, explaining best practices for PLM awareness and the need for change management in order to achieve strategic business goals. In 2008, Jos started blogging around the soft side of PLM to fill the gap in knowledge and understanding of what PLM could bring and what the customer/vendor/implementer thinks. Between 1999 & 2006, Jos started his own private company, TacIT, and worked closely with the SmarTeam customers, implementers and R&D team, leading solution development and methodology for the mid-market. He focuses on the training and coaching of companies around PLM with regards to methodology, change and project management.
