CIMdata in the News: “Reorganizing for Machining Solutions”

John Teresko in this IndustryWeek article observes that “Increasingly, the evolution of manufacturing technologies such as machining is enabling automation vendors to reach for strategies that embrace the total solution.”

Mr. Teresko cites MAG's Dan Cooper, Cyclo-Cut product manager who states: "The more value you deliver to your customers, the better your chances in being able to solve their problems."

PLM expert Alan Christman observes:

"That approach helps build and maintain a competitive edge," notes PLM consultant Alan Christman, chairman, CIMdata Inc. He says leading machine tool builders increasingly seek the goal of becoming a single-source solution provider. "Builders are now becoming more oriented as solution providers than was necessary in the past. Customers look for more than just a good piece of equipment. They also look for the technologies and expertise that will help them compete in this global economy. Builders must fully understand their customer's industry, application, volume and goals for growth and expansion."
