 nbsp\;About our Speaker\nDo any of the following statements sound familiar
 ?\n\n\nWe are planning to implement PLM but don’t know what to focus on.\n
 We are looking to expand PLM but don’t know what to do next.\nWe are conce
 rned about the future of PLM and would like to understand major trends.\nW
 e are trying to break out of PLM as an engineering system\, but don’t know
  where else PLM can be applied.\nWe are having a difficult job trying to c
 onvince management to move forward with an enterprise PLM initiative.\nWe 
 are uncertain if our digital transformation initiative is covering all the
  required elements.\n\n\nThis webinar will provide insight into CIMdata’s 
 annual global PLM Status &amp\; Trends research survey results. The resear
 ch aims to deepen the global PLM community’s collective understanding of t
 he status\, drivers\, and preconditions necessary for companies to derive 
 value from their PLM investments. The main topics to be covered include sp
 ending trends\, implementation foci\, value perception\, and processes bei
 ng enabled\, to name a few. Additionally\, we will describe and provide co
 mments on some of the key potential PLM industry disruptors\, including a 
 brief review of CIMdata’s Critical Dozen digital transformation elements.
 \nIs your PLM strategy delivering the competitive advantage you expected? 
 Every year\, the global PLM community looks to CIMdata’s PLM Status &amp\;
  Trends Research to separate industry hype from operational reality. This 
 webinar provides a first look at the 2026 survey results\, offering a data
 -driven roadmap for leaders who need to optimize their investments\, justi
 fy spending\, and navigate the next wave of digital disruption\, including
  a brief update on CIMdata's Critical Dozen digital transformation element
 -Augmented Intelligence.\nWhat We’ll Cover:\n\nReal-World Spending Trends:
  See where industrial firms are actually putting their money.\nImplementat
 ion Foci: Identify which initiatives practitioners are prioritizing today—
 and which are being sidelined.\nThe Value Perception Gap: How do industria
 l users really feel about their PLM ROI? We share the industry's perspecti
 ve on whether PLM is living up to its promise.\nProcess Enablement: Discov
 er which specific processes—from sustainability compliance to cross-functi
 onal collaboration—are being successfully enabled by your peers.\nAbout 'A
 ugmented Intelligence': As part of CIMdata’s Critical Dozen\, we provide a
  2026 update on AI. Learn how industrial users are moving from experimenta
 l Generative AI to practical Augmented Intelligence that supports the huma
 n-in-the-loop.\n\nWhat will I learn?\n\n\nYou will gain an understanding o
 n how PLM is being used.\nYou will gain an understanding of what processes
  are being enabled by PLM.\nYou will gain an understanding of the drivers 
 &amp\; preconditions necessary to derive value from PLM.\nYou will gain an
  understanding of where corporate executives perceive value in PLM.\nYou w
 ill gain an understanding of the main focus areas of leading companies.\n
 \n\nWho should attend?\n\nExecutives responsible for PLM initiatives\, tho
 se responsible for digital transformation\, PLM team leaders\, PLM team me
 mbers\, PLM users\, product managers\, IT leadership\, solution providers\
 , or anyone else wishing to understand the trends and status of the global
  PLM industry.\n\nDuring the webinar you’ll also have the opportunity to a
