CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Internet of Things – Hype or Value?” The webinar will take place on March 10 at 11:00 a.m. (EST) and will cover the issues and concerns related to the Internet of Things (IoT) and how best to achieve value while avoiding the pitfalls and hype.
The webinar will be an hour long and those attending will: gain the knowledge needed to prepare for IoT in a deliberate way; be in a position to consider all the possibilities for leveraging IoT; have a clearer understanding of the business case for IoT; and will understand the importance of closing the product development loop with IoT delivered data.
According to the webinar host, Ms. Laila Hirr, CIMdata’s Practice Manager for High Tech Electronics, “Over the past year there has been a tremendous amount of hype around IoT with little substance. It’s time to get into the reality of what it is and what it can do for businesses, and how businesses can leverage it.”
Ms. Hirr has 25 years of experience in the PLM industry providing roadmaps, conducting solution provider-neutral enterprise evaluations and selections, with a special emphasis on the business interfaces between engineering, manufacturing, services, and supply chain participants. She is the long-time author of the "PLMsavvy" blog which offers insights around topics that are commonly encountered in PLM initiatives.
The webinar will be useful for CTO's, CIO's, R&D directors, engineering directors, PLM strategists, senior engineering managers and their team members, product development managers, systems engineers, PLM software providers, PLM service providers, PLM channel partners, PLM professionals, and anyone who wants to learn more about IoT.
During the webinar attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed. To find out more, visit: http://www.cimdata.com/en/education/educational-webinars/iot-hype-or-value. To register for the webinar visit: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6711648042849580546
