In this episode of the Share PLM Podcast, we are joined by Michael Pieper, Managing Director at XPLM Solution GmbH. XPLM is a global provider of integration solutions that connect PLM systems with enterprise applications such as ERP, ALM, ECAD, and MCAD tools. Their focus is on enabling end-to-end digital thread visibility by bridging data silos across engineering and business systems, helping organizations streamline product development and lifecycle management.
