#129: ENOVIA 2026 User Conference Wrap Up

PLM Is Changing Fast: AI, Cloud & 3DEXPERIENCE Insights from ENOVIA 2026

What’s really happening with PLM, AI, and cloud adoption right now?

In this episode of Stay Sharp in Digital Engineering, hosts Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott, with their Razorleaf colleagues, François Schlub and Andrew Halley, break down the biggest takeaways from the ENOVIA User Conference 2026, hosted by Dassault Systèmes in Boston.

From AI-powered virtual twins to cloud migration strategies and digital thread integration, this conversation goes beyond the keynote hype to share what real users, engineers, and manufacturers are actually experiencing today.

If you’re working in product development, engineering, manufacturing, or PLM—this is what you need to know.

What You’ll Learn

• Why cloud migration is now a “how,” not “if” decision
• How AI is shaping the future of PLM (and what’s still missing)
• Why integration—not tools—is the biggest challenge
• What companies like Ford Motor Company are doing to move faster
• The growing gap between PLM beginners and advanced users
• Why organizational change management is critical to success

Key Takeaways: 

• 3DEXPERIENCE platform strategy and roadmap
• AI scalability and compute requirements
• Digital thread and system integration (ERP, MES, more)
• Supply chain collaboration and cloud adoption
• Real-world user stories from global manufacturers
