Web-Native Architecture (PLM)
PLM systems designed from inception for web/browser delivery rather than retrofitted from desktop applications. Enables multi-tenant SaaS, simplified deployment, and distributed access.
Why it matters
Web-native architecture eliminates VPN dependencies, thick-client installations, and version management complexity. It became a competitive advantage and requirement for modern PLM platforms.
