CIMdata’s 2023 PLM Market & Industry Forum series theme is “The Digital Thread: Powering Business Transformation.” At this industry-leading Forum, CIMdata will frame the digital thread and discuss the issues faced by industrial users. Event sessions provide critical information to the PLM Software and Service community enabling them to respond to new and evolving requirements. Learn more about the 2023 PLM Market & Industry Forum here. CIMdata continues to investigate many topics of interest to the PLM Economy. One area we are currently focusing on is the digital thread, a topic important enough to be featured as a stand-alone topic on our 2023 PLM Market & Industry Forum agenda. Here is some current thinking on how we are developing that session. This is the last of three blogs on this topic. The Digital Thread-The Industrial Perspective CIMdata, on behalf of the Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG), has conducted a collaborative

This webinar will share findings from recent primary research undertaken by CIMdata. ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 7 March 2023—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “The Importance of Data Governance within Digital Transformation.” The webinar will take place on Thursday, 13 April 2023, at 11:00 a.m. (EDT) and will last for one hour. Digital Transformation programs are enabling growth for many companies. At the core of digital transformation is the data entered into the myriad of enterprise systems and used throughout the organization to make decisions. Despite the importance of accurate product development, supply chain, manufacturing, marketing, and sales data to the organization, many companies lack a formal structure and governance for the data. This webinar will share the results of CIMdata’s recent data governance survey, techniques for enabling organization attention on data governance, and data governance activities within a digital transformation

We are pleased to announce the fourth edition of the ESTECO A&D Technology Days, which will be held on March 14-15, 2023, at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, AZ. The event will focus on digital engineering capability in the aerospace & defense industry, and in particular multidisciplinary design analysis & optimization (MDAO) and simulation process data management (SPDM). “Develop something better, and do it faster and cheaper”. Pressure from governments and society are causing the aerospace and defense industry to re-think their traditional siloed waterfall based development methods, which frequently lead to program delays, cost overruns and sub-optimal designs. Real time collaborative digital engineering is needed to enable change, but outdated desktop clients by default cannot support such a cultural shift. VOLTA, our server-based digital engineering framework for MDAO and SPDM, is different. It allows engineers, managers, suppliers and customers to truly collaborate on the next gen design, with everyone having access
