ProSTEP iViP’s Codex of PLM Openness (CPO) is an initiative, for establishing a common understanding on openness of IT systems in the context of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) between IT customers, IT vendors and IT service providers. Meanwhile nearly 60 companies stated their commitment to support the CPO. This includes companies like Airbus, Atos, Autodesk, BMW, CONTACT, Continental, Daimler, Dassault Systèmes, Ford, NTT Data, PTC, Siemens PLM, Toyota, T-Systems, Volkswagen and ZF.
The complete list of these companies and more information about the CPO can be found at http://www.prostep.org/en/cpo.html
The CPO gets enhanced continuously. Not surprising that the CPO will be key-topic at this year’s ProSTEP iViP Symposium, from 16./17. April, in Hanover, Germany. Within keynotes and special presentations user and IT representatives will present their position. They are sure that this will lead into interesting discussions.
