CIMdata Successfully Completes Global PLM Forum Program
Increased Attendance Shows Growth and Importance of Market
CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM management consulting and research firm is pleased to announce the completion of their global PLM Market & Industry Forum program at four locations: Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA; Heidelberg, Germany; Shanghai, China; and Tokyo, Japan.
CIMdata’s PLM Market & Industry Forums are the world’s premier gathering of technology and service providers focused specifically on the PLM market and the issues concerning its development and growth. Participants gathered to hear CIMdata’s perspective on the state and trends of the PLM market, as well as a detailed discussion of CIMdata’s research activities and viewpoints on the 2011 PLM market results. These included CIMdata’s extensive analysis and forecasts regarding market growth across PLM domains, industries, and regions, and the performance (revenue and market share analysis) of the leading regional and global PLM solution providers. Combined, the sessions had over 150 attendees from across the spectrum of the “PLM Economy”: global PLM solution providers, global PLM service providers, regional solution and service providers, leading academics, and new PLM market entrants.
According to Peter A. Bilello, CIMdata’s President, “the energy at the sessions was incredible, with the most animated discussion in Shanghai at our first ever China Forum. There was an excellent interchange between two leading Chinese academics well versed in systems modeling, and several PLM solution providers in attendance. They all see the importance of systems engineering in moving Chinese industry up the value chain to become more competitive in delivering complex products in global markets.”
“The sessions provide a great way for members of the PLM economy to learn about the common challenges they face, and to get to know and network with other firms that they may not meet in the competitive marketplace,” stated Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata’s Director of Research. “Of course, we provide the PLM market numbers globally, and with a focus on Europe, China and Japan for each regional audience, but the gatherings are about so much more than that. It makes the market more real, and provides true value to all who attend.”
CIMdata will follow up the PLM Market & Industry Forum series with the release of the PLM Market Analysis Report series, which provides significantly more details on the global PLM market, including a volume focused on the PLM market in China. For more information, please see www.CIMdata.com .
