Structured Content: A Critical Component of a Robust PLM Strategy
A Complimentary CIMdata Educational Webinar hosted by CIMdata & JANA
24 June 2021
11:00 EDT | 08:00 PDT | 17:00 CEST
This webinar is for you if:
- You (or your customers) don’t know how to find the correct content related to an in-process product change.
- You (or your customers) don’t know how to find the content related to a field change.
- Your content is disconnected from requirements, regulations, and other product data.
- Your content development and delivery are cumbersome and time-consuming because of its disconnected enablement.
- You have no way to track what is relevant and/or related content (i.e., no digital thread that enables bi-directional traceability).
- Your product content isn’t included in the organization’s configuration management policies and procedures.
The need to make available the right product content (i.e., manuals, guides, bulletins, etc.) in the right format to the right people at the right time is a daunting task for many companies in multiple industries. Hosted jointly by JANA and CIMdata, this webinar will provide insight into how and why structured content is a critical component of a robust end-to-end product lifecycle management (PLM) strategy.
Managing the explosion of content in multiple formats, created using multiple authoring tools, and accessed and displayed by many other applications is no easy task. Only with a robust end-to-end PLM strategy will companies be able to manage the demand properly. The bottom-line is that implementing a PLM strategy without creating and managing all the related product content is a non-starter for most companies, especially for those who have complex and long service life products (e.g., aircraft, automobiles, heavy equipment, and medical devices).
Finally, this webinar will study the need for structured content and describe how it fits within an enterprise content model. A typical architecture for such a PLM environment that includes the appropriate content solutions will also be described.
What will I learn?
- Understand what structured product content is.
- Understand how and where structured product content fits within an end-to-end PLM strategy.
- Understand what processes need to be enabled to support full product content creation and management.
