Copper explains that it depends on the specific software being evaluated. Cooper noted, “‘Light’ SaaS is very much a self-service type of play. When you go self-service with a highly complex engineered product, typically you are making that investment to save your engineers time. But if your engineers are having to maintain that technology, you just increased your stakeholder investment. Total cost of ownership of that technology, is going to be 2-3 times the cost, versus going with a full-service vendor partner who might have a higher investment upfront, but your ongoing maintenance is where you’ll see the return on your investment.
Murphy, a widely respected thought leader in the manufacturing sector, recently observed that the success of digital transformation must begin with the optimization and modernization of antiquated sales processes.
Industry 4.0 continues to be recognized as the next industrial revolution and explanation for the massive digital transformation of manufacturing and factory environments. To date, this movement has largely focused on the automation of shop floor systems and support applications of additive manufacturing, 3D printing, and sensor analytics.
