I couldn't forget it if I'm honest, I have to use an Oracle PLM product daily! :)

The overlap between PLM and MDM and PIM seems to be an area of complexity.

Do you think there is a clear direction here? Seems there is some overlap, but both are still needed as well as integration between these systems - since PLM usually doesn't master parties, financial data, etc. but rather engineering/manufacturing design item data.

Apparently the terminology has evolved since I studied the subject; I'm not familiar with current trends; some of the terms seem rather to be vendor specific marketing jargon for a subset or cross-section of PLM, ERP and CRM functions, or to mix up methodologies and supporting software.
