Some of the most resource-consuming functions related to PLM deployment is the inputting, labelling and then searching of product data. With Generation Z depending solely on fast connections and unchallenging useability, this has got to change and Jos Voskuil will discuss the era of Modern PLM and its implications.

• Understanding ‘Modern PLM’ as a mixture of big data and classical PLM structured data
• Are initial stages of PLM implementation now more about connecting data versus inputting of data?
• What are the differences between structured and unstructured PLM data?
• How can organisations save resources adopting an unstructured data approach?
