CIMdata Announces Its 2010 CIMdata PLM Certificate Program

CIMdata, Inc., the leading global Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) consulting and research firm announces its CIMdata PLM Certificate Program schedule for 2010. The CIMdata PLM Certificate Program is the flagship offering of CIMdata PLM Leadership—the PLM industry’s most comprehensive non-biased education and training offering for PLM professionals.

The CIMdata PLM Certificate Program prepares PLM professionals at several levels to successfully address the challenges inherent in PLM implementations. This assessment-based certificate 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 experts. Upon successful completion of the program, each participant receives a CIMdata PLM Certificate and thereby becomes a member of CIMdata’s global PLM Leadership community.

According to Mr. Peter Bilello, CIMdata’s Vice President, “CIMdata is excited to announce our 2010 PLM Certificate Program schedule. Since the program’s introduction in early 2009, CIMdata has successfully held the program in Europe, North America, and Asia. The program’s success in a rather difficult economic climate clearly illustrates PLM’s strategic value to companies around the world, and we expect the program’s success to continue as more companies realize how PLM is not only a strategic business solution, but also how it can play a major role in accelerating a company’s pace of recovery.” He went on to state, “We have designed our 2010 schedule to address the needs of PLM professionals throughout Europe and North America. Additional sessions will most likely be added to the schedule in other regions as they become necessary.” The CIMdata 2010 PLM Certificate Program schedule is as follows:
