CIMdata, Inc. Successfully Introduces PLM Certificate Program
CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM consulting and research firm announces the successful start of its new PLM Certificate Program with recent sessions held in Helsinki, Finland and Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. CIMdata’s PLM Certificate Program is the flagship offering of CIMdata PLM Leadership—the PLM industry’s most comprehensive non-biased education and training offering for today’s PLM professionals.
CIMdata’s PLM Certification Program prepares industrial professionals at several levels to successfully address the challenges inherent in PLM implementations. According to Tanmay Aggarwal of IDS Infotech Ltd., “The PLM Certificate Program provided me with a very thorough understanding of this critical business strategy.” Commenting on the response CIMdata has received since the program’s introduction in April, Mr. Peter Bilello, CIMdata Vice President and PLM Certificate Program Coordinator, said that the global response has been extremely positive. Mr. Bilello noted, “Since the program’s introduction in late April, we have received inquiries and registrations from four continents. This is a very positive sign and it clearly indicates that companies throughout much of the world view PLM as a strategic business approach that must be understood and pursued no matter the economic climate.” He added that these responses validate CIMdata’s experience that the PLM industry throughout the world clearly needs a best-practice-based education and training program to provide the solid foundation necessary to successfully define, implement, and continuously improve today’s and tomorrow’s PLM environments. “It is for this reason that CIMdata will continue to expand the CIMdata PLM Certificate Program and will offer it beyond the North American and European markets in upcoming months and years.” said Mr. Bilello.
This five-day assessment-based program includes an intimate classroom experience, individual and team-based exercises, and individual evaluations of achievement. Additionally, the program provides candidates with intensive and extensive exposure to a team of CIMdata’s experts. Upon completion of the program, each participant receives a CIMdata PLM Certificate and thereby becomes a member of CIMdata’s global PLM Leadership community. The CIMdata PLM Certification Program is built on CIMdata’s more than 25 years of extensive world-wide experience guiding industrial companies in successfully defining and implementing best-in-class PLM strategies and tactics.
The next CIMdata PLM Certificate Program is scheduled for late September, 2009 in Andover, MA outside of Boston. Please refer to PLM Certificate Program for full details of this exclusive education program.
