Did PLM ever really become something more than PDM?

In Episode 151, hosts Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott sit down with Doug Macdonald, a longtime PLM industry veteran with a career spanning PTC, SAP, Sherpa, Aras, and CIMdata, to trace the untold history of PLM, from the earliest CAD/PDM days to the platforms we use today.

The big question: are today's PLM platforms built for the manufacturing world we have—or the one we used to have?

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation, Doug returns soon to explore where PLM goes next.

Most PLM conversations stay theoretical.
This one won’t.

At the San Francisco Bay Area 3DEXPERIENCE RUG, the focus is real-world ex*****on how leading West Coast companies are actually using CATIA, ENOVIA, DELMIA, and SIMULIA to drive results on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Please connect with Francois Schlub via LinkedIn, he’d welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

No fluff. No slideware. Just practitioners sharing what works (and what doesn’t).

If you’re serious about advancing your digital thread not just talking about it this is where the conversation gets real.

Everyone is talking about AI transforming engineering.

We’ve spent decades building PLM, CAD, ALM, MES ecosystems…
…and we still can’t reliably move product data between them without losing meaning.

That's exactly what GPDIS 2026 is tackling — and so are we!

If you're attending and want to connect with one of our experts, reach out to Francois Schlub or Tom Carlson — they'd love to chat with you!

🔹 How CAD/CAM sparked the rise of PDM
🔹 The evolution from PDM → collaborative product commerce → PLM
🔹 Why many organizations still use PLM mainly as glorified PDM
🔹 How the deep MCAD-PLM connection shapes today's platform architecture
🔹 Why global supply chains are outgrowing legacy PLM assumptions

The big question: are today's PLM platforms built for the manufacturing world we have—or the one we used to have?

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation, Doug returns soon to explore where PLM goes next.

150 episodes. Nearly 3 years. A LOT of digital engineering conversations.

What have we learned?

The technology keeps changing, but the fundamental challenges often don’t.

From PLM and AI to digital twins, digital threads, MBSE, integration, data migration, and data quality, we’ve explored what’s really happening behind the digital transformation headlines.

And we’ve learned that success isn’t just about technology. It’s about people, processes, data, culture, and having the right conversations.

For Episode #150, Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott look back at what we got right, what we got wrong, the conversations that stuck with us—and what’s still left to explore.
