4. Community Clouds
Examples
Data (automobile forecasts, supplier reliability, component data )
Services (BOM cost analysis, secure communications, EDI )
Web Standards: HTML, SOAP, XML, Web Services
Transaction fee or subscription based. Sometimes
require the contribution of your data to help improve the
data set.

5. Why?
Community Cloud can have larger data sets (for
example device reliability data) which drives more
accuracy and relevancy than can be created internally.
Access to Analytics (including the software tools and

6. How?
Avoid the Browser !
If we need to open a separate browser window and cut‐paste
between PLM and the web‐site windows, or manually move
files, the end‐users will not adopt the tools consistently
Once the browser is open, you do not control where engineers
O th b i d t t l h i
get data. Standardization and consistency are gone!
Build dialogs, wizards, processes, etc. in the PLM client
application (federation) connected to the cloud sources
PLM context is used as starting point for search
Data is retrieved automatically, no data entry
