We at Razorleaf have been going through the ENOVIA V6R2010x documentation to figure out the “real” meaning behind the much publicized SOA readiness of V6. Before we dive in, let’s get familiar with the definition of SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture). Continue Reading
There is a lot of buzz around cloud computing today, and not all of it is positive. If you don’t know much about cloud computing, the simplest description is to think about a bank of remote computers whose resources you can harness on an as-needed basis. Note that this description omits any discussion of where the computers are located (other than not being attached to your keyboard), who owns the computers, who else can access the computers, etc. The concept of cloud computing itself doesn’t imply answers to any questions about ownership, location, or privacy/security. So let’s dig a level deeper to discuss how these ownership, security, and privacy issues relate to cloud computing, and specifically in the world of PLM. Continue Reading
Razorleaf has just released the new CADFIT tool for public consumption. I don’t recommend actually eating or consuming the tool, but I do recommend that you use it. “Well of course you do, you work for Razorleaf.” Okay, that factor not withstanding, CADFIT is a really great tool to help you determine the health of your SolidWorks files, to check and see if they are “fit.” Continue Reading
Many of the systems our clients work with could rightly be considered business critical systems. Whether its Design Automation (DA) tools, a PLM/PDM system, a custom application, or a tool for electronic process automation Razorleaf’s clients would be hard-pressed to efficiently complete their day’s activities if the system was down or not operating as it should. There are a number of items that should be considered when making a change to one of these systems including ensuring proper documentation, training, system design, and testing. One of the most overlooked best practices to ensure success is having a staging area where applications can be rigorously developed, tested, and deployed. Continue Reading

Recently, Razorleaf was asked to develop a proposal that would deliver PLM as a managed service, kind of like SaaS (Software-as-a-Service). One way to offer PLM as a managed service is pure SaaS (like Arena Solutions). If you’re not familiar with Arena, think of SalesForce.com or Gmail. Another way to offer PLM as a managed service is to take traditional PLM software and host it in an off-premise environment where it can be managed by a third party. That’s the option we pursued for this client. Continue Reading
Gone are the days when people simply accept conventional wisdom that mandated companies use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software, because those companies couldn’t risk an open source solution. Excuses such as available resources, regular releases, stable software, etc., just don’t cut it any longer. Continue Reading
