CIMdata in the News: “Engineers, Meet Social Media”
Beth Stackpole in the Design News article “Engineers, Meet Social Media” discusses how the social media tools such as blogs, wikis, microblogging tools and social networking forums are being utilized by engineers and CAD vendors.
In the article CIMdata’s Ken Amann comments:
"These tools are a good vehicle for expanding your contacts and sources of knowledge," says Ken Amann, director of research for CIMdata Inc., an Ann Arbor, MI, market research and consulting firm specializing in engineering. "Normal systems are really focused on interacting with people within your work sphere or with defined partners while these new tools tend to have more of an open audience."
