CM Baseline

Silos don’t just isolate data -they isolate people -decisions and innovation

Silos don’t just isolate data; they isolate people, decisions, and innovation!

This time, I share with you what I presented during the LightX conference in October.  You might wonder why there is an anime version of the girl with the pearl earrings in the header.

At her school, they have a mobile app that allows teachers to… Read More »Silos don’t just isolate data; they isolate people, decisions, and innovation!

Open Data Platform with connected applications and agentic AI

How the CM Baseline and Agentic AI enables the future of Enterprise applications.

Rob Ferrone’s and Oleg Shilovitsky’s LinkedIn bromance 😉 has resulted in an interesting post by Oleg: How to Build PLM Applications We Love Using AI. His premise (my interpretation) is to build Minimum Loveable PLM applications as small applications supported by AI that fulfill a specific purpose using data from a shared data platform. No MVPs, but MLPs! Around the same time, Michael Finocchario published The Agentic AI Revolution: Reimagining PLM as… Read More »How the CM Baseline and Agentic AI enables the future of Enterprise applications.

Configuration Management is... Baselines

Configuration Management is… Baselines!

Configuration Management is… #Baselines! Let’s talk about Baselines. Imagine building a house without a blueprint. Each contractor works from their own notes, making changes as they see fit. The result? A structure riddled with inconsistencies, unexpected failures, and costly rework and delays. This is exactly what happens when organizations lack baselines in Configuration Management (CM). What is a Baseline?A baseline is a formally approved configuration snapshot at a specific point… Read More »Configuration Management is… Baselines!
