The Sustainability Investment Imperative: Where PLM Delivers the Greatest Impact
A Complimentary CIMdata Educational Webinar with Mark Reisig, Executive Consultant and Sustainability Practice Director, CIMdata
12 November 2026
11:00 ET | 08:00 PT | 17:00 CET
Sustainability has not gone away; it has evolved. Corporate reporting requirements have been recalibrated, yet atmospheric CO₂ continues to rise. Product-level requirements, such as Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) and Digital Product Passports (DPP), continue to advance, and energy security, critical materials, and supply-chain resilience have become board-level concerns.
This webinar will examine how much companies should invest in sustainability and where those investments deliver the greatest environmental and business returns. We will show how PLM, with its product context and digital thread, enables companies to direct investment toward the products, engineering decisions, and lifecycle stages that matter most, and to make those investments measurable, repeatable, and defensible.
Do these statements sound familiar?
- Shifting political and regulatory priorities make it difficult for us to determine how much to invest in sustainability and where.
- While corporate reporting requirements have eased in some regions, customer, OEM, and market-access requirements for product-level carbon data continue to grow.
- Energy price volatility, competition for critical minerals, and supply-chain disruptions are risks that our sustainability strategies must address.
- Product carbon data is fragmented across PLM, ERP, suppliers, and spreadsheets, forcing us to rebuild the same information multiple times.
- Limited access to our primary supplier data forces us to rely on estimates and questionnaires that are difficult to trust or verify.
- We're missing cost-saving opportunities by addressing sustainability only after the product design freeze.
What will I learn?
- Understand why sustainability remains a business imperative despite shifting political priorities.
- Learn how to determine how much to invest in sustainability and where those investments deliver the greatest return.
- Understand how to measure the business and environmental value of sustainability investments.
- Discover how integrating sustainability into engineering decisions lowers your product’s PCF and cost.
- Understand the product-data foundation needed to meet customer, market, and regulatory requirements without rebuilding information each time.
- Learn how supplier data ecosystems and Digital Product Passports extend PLM beyond the enterprise.
- Gain a realistic view of where AI can accelerate product sustainability.
- Leave with a value-based roadmap for directing sustainability investment.
Who should attend?
This webinar is designed for executives and cross-functional leaders in Sustainability, Engineering, Sourcing, Manufacturing, IT, and Operations across any industry. It is ideal for anyone looking to optimize their sustainability investments, lower product carbon footprints during early-stage engineering, and build a measurable, data-driven roadmap for long-term ROI.
During the webinar, you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions.

Managing a PLM Solution's Lifecycle
A Complimentary CIMdata Educational Webinar with Peter Bilello, President & CEO, CIMdata
22 October 2026
11:00 ET | 08:00 PT | 17:00 CET
Do these challenges sound familiar?
- We’re concerned about our current PLM platform’s potential End of Life (EOL) (or have even received an EOL notice), and we don’t know what to do.
- We know we need to replace our current PLM platform, but we don’t understand what’s required.
- We’re having a hard time convincing management that we need to invest to ensure that a future EOL is handled in a way that reduces risk to our intellectual assets.
- We are planning a reimplementation initiative but aren’t sure it covers all required elements.
- We are considering a one-for-one replacement, but we’re not sure it's the best approach or whether we should take the opportunity to explore what other benefits we could achieve.
- All the talk about artificial intelligence is overwhelming, and we would like to better understand how it fits into an overall EOL initiative.
Like most enterprise software, PLM platforms follow a natural lifecycle and eventually reach the end of their architectural life. When that happens, simple upgrades aren't an option, and organizations may face a full-scale reimplementation. This pattern has repeated many times over the commercial PLM market's 40-year history, yet many organizations are caught off guard.
Waiting for an official EOL announcement before acting is a mistake. As legacy PLM platforms approach sunset, the biggest threats to your timeline, budget, and IP often stem from unquantified technical debt, including:
- Custom code and legacy process extensions
- Fragile integrations and obsolete middleware
- Custom data models and complex schemas
- Unmaintained CAD connectors
Issues like this can slow progress, increase migration complexity, and make it harder to adopt newer capabilities, including artificial intelligence. Many organizations considering a platform replacement do not yet know what they do not know, so they risk replacing one system with another without fully leveraging modern PLM capabilities.
In this webinar, we’ll examine these challenges and introduce a practical Audit and Risk Assessment Framework. Enterprise teams can use it to support discovery, assess technical risk, and estimate migration complexity before selecting or implementing a replacement Product Innovation Platform.
By attending this webinar, you will learn:
- The main elements of PLM investment sustainability.
- How best to prepare for PLM obsolescence.
- How best to create a workable PLM replacement roadmap.
- How to execute an Audit and Risk Assessment Framework.
- When to upgrade and when to replace.
Who should attend?
Executives responsible for PLM initiatives; those leading digital transformation; PLM team leaders and members; PLM users; product managers; IT leadership; Engineering VPs; IT Directors; Enterprise Architects; or anyone evaluating system modernization amid inevitable platform sunsetting.
During the webinar, you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
