John WhetstonePlease welcome John Whetstone to our Blogsquad. John is currently the Product Manager for Decision Support Tools. What are Decision Support tools, you ask?

At Siemens PLM Software, this is a newly formed portfolio of tools being developed by the Technology and Innovation team. The purpose of these tools is to help PLM users make smarter decisions throughout the product lifecycle. The toolset is currently being defined and will include solutions that help our customers


  1. define and clarify problems

  2. specify solution criteria

  3. compare, understand and rank alternative solutions

  4. document decision rationale and encourage decision making best practices.




The portfolio currently includes Visual Reports and later this year will include a set of Comparison tools.
