CIMdata Forms PLM Industry Consortium

By DE Editors

Consulting and research firm CIMdata, has created a new member service,  the CIMdata PLM Industry Consortium. The Consortium will focus on providing research on top PLM issues.
 
“PLM solution providers continually deliver new products,  architectures, and solutions to market, while their industrial customers are dealing with their own product launches and attempting to realize the value from their existing PLM investments,” said Peter Bilello, president of CIMdata. “The CIMdata PLM Industry Consortium will define and perform research on these industrial customers’ key areas of interest, be it current challenges with PLM related implementations, best practice research, or looking forward to help define what the PLM solution providers should be offering.”
 
According to the company, the Consortium will provide access to ongoing research and analysis; participation in the identification of PLM topic areas for new research; reduced rates for PLM Certificate programs;  current information on news and trends; access to the company’s PLM experts; and participation in the PLM Community group.
 
Robert Hellow will lead the Consortium as CIMdata’s PLM Consortium Practice Manager.
