CIMdata Announces Multi-Sponsor Research Study to help Accelerate the Development of the Global Enterprise Innovation Market

CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM consulting and research firm, announces the initiation of a multi-sponsor research project to create an Enterprise Innovation Management (EIM) Solutions guide to help accelerate the development of the global EIM market for the benefit of both solution providers and industry. Co-sponsors of the research effort are eZassi, Planview, Siemens PLM Software, and Sopheon.

The goal of the research is to address the existing concerns and typical questions—as well as preempt the emerging concerns—of industrial companies about implementing EIM by providing market education and motivating web events. Through a series of thought leadership interviews with solution provider peers, development of a whitepaper solutions primer on the EIM landscape, and webcast events, CIMdata will define and socialize a common framework of terminology, solution approaches, implementation challenges, and benefits. Through this effort it is expected that industrial companies will become more familiar with enterprise innovation enabling technologies and will feel more prepared to invest in the next generation of solutions that are designed to increase their ability to innovate more effectively and sustainably.

According to Dr. Suna Polat, CIMdata’s Director responsible for Collaborative Innovation and Social Product Development, “Industrial companies appear slower to invest in EIM than they should be for the competitive benefits that can be attained. This hesitancy to act is due largely to the confusion, uncertainty, and ambiguity from the substantial differences in terminology, solution approaches, strategies, best practices, and benefit claims they hear from a plethora of innovation management solution providers. This confusion has been further inflated by the lack of confidence in how industrial companies can best employ social media and other new collaborative innovation tools both internally in product development as well as externally with their supply chain and customers.”
