PRINCIPLE SYNONYM FULL
Onshape is PTC’s cloud-native CAD – the only product development platform to deliver full featured CAD.īy being cloud-native, Onshape can provide consistent versioning throughout the design process.
PRINCIPLE SYNONYM SOFTWARE
Cloud-native software is any software application designed and created with cloud computing in mind. With cloud becoming increasingly accessible, it is only natural for certain organizations – including PTC – to see the value in developing or acquiring solutions built on cloud principles and architecture, or cloud-native. Now, it isn’t just practical, it is often cheaper than hosting and maintaining the servers onsite.
The host server, however, does listen to input from the user (if a user deletes an email, the cloud server should eventually delete it too).īefore advancements in internet technology, such as 4G (now5G) and broadband, connection speeds were too slow for this type of computing to be practical. Even a user’s email is not stored on their computer, it is just accessible. Cloud (commonly shorthand for cloud computing) refers to transferring computing processes or data storage – sometimes entire software infrastructure – away from on-premises hardware to third- party servers. SaaS is not a synonym for either cloud or cloud-native, however the concepts are related. So, how does PTC define cloud, cloud-native, and – most importantly – SaaS? While we can certainly understand the confusion surrounding digital transformation terminology, we believe it’s part of our responsibility to set the record straight. SaaS may have been the most popular term applied, but only with a 54% majority, meaning nearly half of respondents believe either cloud or cloud-native to be the correct term. So, are they synonyms?Īccording to many respondents in a recent PTC study, terms like cloud, cloud-native, and SaaS are often used interchangeably to describe the same definition, which is “delivering software solutions over the Internet and as a service, instead of installing and maintaining it yourself”. With that in mind, let’s turn to SaaS, which sometimes is used interchangeably with terms like cloud or cloud-native. That said, when conveying any aspect of the digital transformation, it is vital to level-set.
The other, less glamorous but more relevant reason is that, for an encompassing term like digital transformation, it has different definitions in different contexts. Some of this comes from over-zealous marketers who spend less time defining what they’re talking about and more time telling you how it will change the world. Even ubiquitous terms like digital transformation can sometimes feel like they have a dozen different meanings. Given the pace of technology, it is understandable that not everyone understands terms such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, augmented reality (AR), cloud, or software as a service (SaaS).
