What's stopping your AI from delivering real insight?
Usually it's not the AI. It's the data behind it.
Ready to connect the dots?
Watch our New CLOVER Video Here: https://t.co/3Izgfs2k3y
For many manufacturers, critical information is trapped across PLM, ERP, MES, QMS, CRM, and more. Disconnected systems mean disconnected insights.
CLOVER connects and normalizes your product and manufacturing data while preserving the security you already have in place. With built-in patterns for BOMs, requirements, change management, and supplier exchanges.
When it comes the building a digital thread, businesses can quickly become overwhelmed with executing a complex plan. The good news is, with CLOVER you can start right where you are. Building a digital thread takes time and CLOVER has the building blocks needed to accomplish a plan.
Before you ask what AI can do for your business, ask whether your data is ready for it.

CAD is just the starting point.
Dassault Systèmes is going further with science-based virtual twins, models that combine multi-scale physics with real-world operational feedback. In Episode 161 of Stay Sharp in Digital Engineering, Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott talk with Bill DeVries, VP of North America Brands & Workforce of the Future at Dassault Systèmes, to open our three-part Digital Product Series.
What we cover:
🔹 How Dassault defines digital engineering: one source of truth across the product lifecycle
🔹 MODSIM, which puts simulation directly inside the design environment
🔹 Science-based virtual twins, including the Living Heart Project
🔹 A customer story: 300+ legacy systems consolidated onto one platform, and a development cycle cut by 12 months
🔹 Where Dassault is taking industrial AI
This episode introduces the company. The next two take a closer look at the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and ENOVIA.

IS PLM DEAD? 20 MILLION SEATS SAY OTHERWISE!
Some say PLM has had its day. But with approximately 20 million installed seats worldwide and a $20 billion market, the numbers tell a very different story.
In Episode 159 of Stay Sharp, hosts Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott welcome Andreas Lindenthal of PLMadvisors, a PLM veteran with more than 25 years of industry experience, to challenge the “PLM is dead” narrative.
What’s next for PLM?
- How will AI transform the way we interact with product data?
- Why is the digital thread becoming an enterprise-wide priority?
- Is the real challenge technology—or how organizations use it?
PLM isn't dead. It's evolving—and AI could be the catalyst for its next big chapter.
