CIMdata to Host a Free Webinar on Current PLM Trends and Future Disruptors
This educational webinar will share information about the PLM industry’s current state and where it is heading.
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA, 21 October 2020—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Today’s PLM Trends and Tomorrow’s Disruptors.” The webinar will take place on Thursday, 12 November 2020, at 11:00 a.m. (EST) and last for one hour.
As the definition and enablement of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) continue to expand and evolve, one must keep a watchful eye on the industry’s numerous trends and potential disruptors. PLM, like every other technological advancement, has a lifecycle of its own. Various technology and non-technology-oriented trends and disruptors are placing tremendous pressure on traditional lifecycle management approaches, many of which are resulting in new ways of looking at and enabling product and process innovation.
An evolution is underway, and there are no signs that it will slow down. At the heart of the evolution, traditional PLM solution providers, and new entries to the market offer powerful new capabilities. These include leveraging the Cloud and a host of new platform capabilities, Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), and other emerging technologies such as Blockchain, 3D printing, and Augmented/Virtual Reality. In many ways, this evolution is bringing transparency to what has long been a fragmented lifecycle. With a platform-enabled data and process management backbone, many of today’s trends and tomorrow’s disruptors can tie together to enable an extended enterprise’s digital thread in a manner that brings a competitive advantage not previously feasible. This webinar will discuss the global PLM industry’s overall state, and many PLM trends and disruptors CIMdata is following.
This webinar will help attendees:

- Understand tomorrow’s potential disruptors.

According to Peter Bilello, CIMdata’s President & CEO, and the host for this webinar, “Today’s PLM professionals must stay ahead of the curve by tracking and incorporating today’s PLM trends, as well as keeping abreast of tomorrow’s potential disruptors so that they can ensure that their PLM environments are current. To be successful, companies need to constantly understand and evaluate where the PLM industry is and where it is going so that they can achieve the maximum from its implementation.”
