CIMdata is the leading independent global strategic management consulting and research authority focused exclusively on PLM and the digital transformation it enables. We are dedicated to maximizing our clients' ability to design, deliver, and support innovative products and services through the application of PLM.
Often, within industrial organizations, after the initial implementation of PLM solutions are completed, they are not modernized (upgraded). As a result, most of these PLM environments are lacking the ability to achieve objectives of Industry 4.0, Digital Transformation, or the pursuit of a sustainable Digital Thread and Digital Twin.
Additionally, the gap in capabilities, inhibits organizations from realizing value outside of traditional product engineering and design domains, making collaboration, and extending out through the product lifecycle, cumbersome, if not impossible, without adding bolt-on solutions.
Using market research data on the implementation and upgrade frequency of leading industrial organizations, CIMdata will provide an overview of the current state of PLM software and its upgradeability in terms of software age, deployment difficulties, and upgrade duration tied to user and company demographics.
Attending this session will provide the insight for organizations to see where they fit within their peers as to the current state of their PLM implementations, and how best to move forward to take advantage of evolving business opportunities and be more competitive with products services than their peers.
