Do any of the following statements sound familiar?

We plan to implement PLM, but we don’t know what to focus on.
We are planning for PLM expansion but don’t know what to do next.
We are concerned about PLM's future and would like to understand more about the major trends and potential disruptors.
We are worried that today’s investment will be wasted because of tomorrow’s disruptors.
We are trying to break out of PLM as an engineering system, but don’t know where else to apply PLM.

As the definition and enablement of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) continue to expand and evolve, one must keep a watchful eye on the industry’s numerous trends and potential disruptors. PLM, like every other technological advancement, has a lifecycle of its own. Various technology and non-technology-oriented trends and disruptors are placing great pressure on traditional lifecycle management approaches, many of which are resulting in new ways of looking at and enabling product and process innovation. This evolution is underway, and there are no signs that it will slow down. At the heart of the evolution, traditional PLM solution providers, and new entries to the market are offering powerful new capabilities. These include leveraging the Cloud and a host of new platform capabilities, Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), and other emerging technologies such as Blockchain, 3D printing, and Augmented/Virtual Reality. In many ways, this evolution is bringing transparency to what has long been a fragmented lifecycle. With a platform-enabled data and process management backbone, many of today’s trends and tomorrow’s disruptors can tie together to enable an extended enterprise’s digital thread in a manner that brings a competitive advantage not previously feasible. This webinar will describe the overall state of the global PLM industry, and many of the PLM trends and disruptors CIMdata is tracking.
