Daratech has noted a shift in the focus of software providers as the high-end marketplace becomes saturated. Major suppliers are adjusting to the dynamics of small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to provide assistance in the development of business operations that are essential to the implementation of PLM in today's marketplace.

In an effort to globalize PLM, major suppliers are taking initiatives to develop and maintain relationships with SMBs. The influx of major suppliers into the SMB marketplace is opening up the transition between 2D and 3D CAD. SolidWorks, a leading supplier of small design groups, has developed a close business-to-business relationship with such companies while continuing the efficient launch of CAD solutions beyond market standards.
The initial success of SolidWorks has become the paradigm for other suppliers who want to be a part of an SMB solution. Companies such as Agile, Dassault Systemes, IBM, PTC and UGS are moving into this niche by conducting seminars, creating portfolios and addressing new solutions. Seminars address current issues of new product development, value chain synchronization, enterprise data management, and communization and reuse. Portfolio development introduces innovative and competitive products to SMBs to ensure the gain of PLM benefits, while new solutions are introduced through software products emphasizing design, analysis and data management. Operations involving cost- and time-efficient product development, innovative promotion and increased quality standards serve as the backbone in this PLM expansion.
As the SMB marketplace is gradually expanding, it will reap the benefits of PLM while also securing another market for vendors in the globalization of PLM.
