Inforbix - Product Data Applications
Inforbix product data application for engineering and manufacturing
PDM has been around for decades. The Cloud is trending. At Inforbix, we think it’s time to combine PDM and the Cloud into something new. So we started experimenting on a new kind of PDM we think will be much simpler and easier to deploy, use, and adopt than traditional PDM systems. We’ll share more [...]
One of the topics that often comes up for discussion these days is data privacy. No doubt about it, data privacy (aka security) is an important topic. And certainly your propritairy data needs to remain safe and not to be exposed outside your organization or firewall without your permission. At the same time, product development [...]
3D is an important and practical part of the engineering software experience. Despite some people maintaining that “2D always works”, I believe 3D View’ing independent of a CAD system is an important requirement more people expect nowadays. This is a requirement many of our users have requested from Inforbix early days. In response, Inforbix has [...]
All I hear everybody talk about these days is cloud this, and cloud that. You could be forgiven for thinking that the cloud wil solve all problems. However, there’s one thing the cloud cannot solve, at least for now. And that’s the gap between the data you have on premise and want to keep there [...]
Cloud is trending. Autodesk recently launched their new PLM in the cloud product Autodesk PLM 360. Inforbix is very good at linking on-premise data with the cloud; it does so without moving any actual CAD or other sensitive files into the cloud.

It’s one of those things that no one outside IT departments care about. But here’s the thing, companies are generating so much data so fast that no single [...]
The landscape of enterprise systems is changing very fast these days. There are multiple reasons for that, for example, a main disruptor in this space is cloud technologies. These technologies came to us from the consumer oriented internet, web 2.0 and 3.0, and by the fact that these technologies provide the foundation for popular products [...]
I’m impressed by the number of blog posts I’ve seen right before and after New Year, foretelling the future. I’ve tried to read as many of them as possible. As a result, I’ve come to a conclusion: cloud is going to be a big topic in 2012. Here’s one of my favorite posts prognosticating what [...]
Cloud is trending. As I forecasted in my previous blog, Inforbix, Cloud Naysayers and PC in 1982, in 20 years, our doubts about the cloud will be as funny as today’s memories about PC and UNIX workstations. If you had a chance to hear Mark Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com recently, you probably heard his famous statement: You [...]
