Presentation will discuss how Qualcomm handled a recent corporate divestiture.
Ann Arbor, Michigan, 30 April 2015—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces that Qualcomm’s PLM Architect, Bob Wickens, will make a presentation at PLM Road Map™ for the High Tech Electronics (HTE) Community. The event will take place on June 16th at the Biltmore Hotel & Suites in Santa Clara, California.
In his presentation, “Divestitures—a New Trend in Redefining Businesses, What about the Assets,” Wickens will look at the impact of divestitures in the high tech industry. Divestitures are something we are experiencing more often than before, a trend that marks a reversal of the extensive M&A activity of recent decades. The presentation will draw on Qualcomm’s experiences during a recent divestiture. Issues such as managing the data asset split, enterprise-licensing terms, and the how the re-deployment of enterprise PLM is best managed will be considered.
As a PLM architect for Qualcomm, Wickens is responsible for driving alignment and the execution of PLM strategy across the entire enterprise. Previously, he was the PLM Applications Manager supporting semi-conductor manufacturing.
PLM Road Map for the HTE Community is the must-attend event for HTE industry executives and PLM practitioners globally—providing independent education and a collaborative networking environment where ideas, trends, experiences, and relationships critical to the HTE industry germinate and take root. The theme for this event is “Innovating in a Nanosecond World: How PLM Makes Innovation and Collaboration for the HTE Industry Repeatable, Sustainable, and Scalable.”
