CIMdata’s PLM Certificate Program is intended to ensure that the individuals that participate in a PLM program all have the same level of PLM understanding. The program is delivered through a series of education and training sessions. Comprised of a series of 3.5-hour and 7-hour seminars, it is delivered through a series of lectures, case studies, exercises, and tests.
CIMdata’s PLM Certificate Program is comprised of 9 core courses that can be given over a five-day period or can be delivered in half-day or full-day segments configured for a specific company’s requirements. Please note that CIMdata also offers a set of advanced courses for those companies that need to educate their PLM program participants in other important PLM related topics.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
The next issue of the CIMdata PLM Industry Summary will be published Friday, December 3, 2010.
CIMdata is now featuring online polls with real time reporting on our web site at http://www.cimdata.com/polls/polls.html. Each week the results of the previous poll will be included in the CIMdata PLM Industry Summary to help you stay on top of trends in the PLM industry.
Take a moment to visit the site and vote
on our current poll.
The results for the last opinion poll are:

The results of this poll demonstrate a current, short-term view of PLM supporting Green initiatives—that it is best suited to provide support for regulatory reporting and tracking requirements. While this is an important aspect of PLM’s impact on Green, we believe the future will show much broader benefits in the emerging areas of designing to support Green concepts and content traceability. We are already seeing major activities where PLM is used to manage CAD and CAE processes, data in support of design for sustainability, and other environmental initiatives.
NOTE: The results of these polls are anecdotal, not scientific.
