She is the long-time author of the "PLMsavvy" blog which provides insights around topics that are commonly encountered in PLM initiatives.
The webinar will be an hour long and will provide attendees with: a PLM refresher; a better understanding of the terminology and perceptions associated with using the cloud to manage IP; the business value of managing in the cloud; and examples of exceptions to keep in mind when considering PLM in the cloud.
