Cloud-native PLM
Product Lifecycle Management systems built from the ground up for cloud deployment, with no on-premises legacy code, multi-tenant architecture, and browser-based interfaces. Examples include OpenBOM, Bild, and Duro.
Why it matters
Cloud-native PLM deploys in days instead of months, reduces IT overhead, and makes collaborative workflows natural. Legacy vendors retrofitting cloud support can't compete on deployment speed.
