This presentation is part of CIMdata’s educational webinar series.
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 18 January 2023—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Attaining Successful Digital Transformation through a Well-Executed Implementation.” The webinar will take place on Thursday, 9 February 2023, at 11:00 a.m. (EST) and will last for one hour.
When a PLM solution suite is selected, the solution must be properly architected and implemented to support an organization’s business processes and methods to maximize its value in a digital transformation. This process involves integrating many solutions and capabilities currently used and also new tools. Data usually comes from and goes to multiple repositories and parts of an organization; not all functions and tools use data in the same way and same form, so accommodating all business processes is not always straightforward.
This webinar will share the importance of making well-informed decisions all the way through the journey, from solution selection to implementation planning and execution.
Attendees at this webinar will:
- Learn how to define solutions and data architectures for product development and support vs. data for general business.
- Understand how to structure an implementation plan and governance team.
- Be in a position to anticipate and resolve solution landscape issues.
- Learn how to manage business rules.
- Learn why OOTB solutions are a fantasy.
- Understand how to incorporate best business practices into a solution architecture.
According to John MacKrell, CIMdata’s Chairman and the host for this webinar, “Many organizations CIMdata works with today are moving from PLM solution selection and implementation to the ultimate goal of digitally transforming to maximize cross-functional business performance. Planning and managing this process and its participants provides the ultimate success (or failure) of their digital transformation investments.”
John MacKrell has 40+ years of experience applying computer-based solutions to engineering and manufacturing, with over 20 years at CIMdata. He has held senior positions in product management, marketing, research and development, and consulting.
This webinar will be helpful to people from every part of the organization since properly deployed PLM solutions impact cross-functionally on product design, manufacturing, service, and other downstream product processes. People from multiple levels will find the information pertinent and valuable: senior and middle managers, digital transformation and PLM leads, team participants, users (engineers, manufacturing planners, installation and services practitioners, and others), IT—anyone impacted by how an organization adopts digital transformation strategies and solutions to support product programs.
During the webinar, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
