Companies must ensure that their PLM solution addresses their real enterprise PLM requirements in a manner that is easy to implement and intuitive to use for all users, forming an effective and innovative work environment. Upchain’s thesis in designing a new SaaS Multi-Tenant PLM solution is that people must be empowered. People must be at the center of PLM, not serve it, and it must support how people prefer to work. Join CIMdata and Upchain for a free webinar that will share more about this approach for those who are seeking a new and easier way to do PLM.

Do any of the following statements resonate with you? If so, plan to join us on August 20th.

• We store our product IP outside PLM in spreadsheets, emails, and documents, which leads to lost IP.
• Our experts get swamped by requests from people who can’t find answers in PLM.
• Our people lose concentration on their work using unintuitive, IT-centric systems.
• Our suppliers do work on out-of-date information, causing rework, lost time, and extra cost.
• Our people face tedious and often unproductive tasks, leaving insufficient time to innovate.
• The COVID-19 pandemic froze PLM. PLM training, discovery workshops are no longer possible because people are working from home; thus, perpetuating the PLM problem.

By attending this webinar, you will:

• Learn how to initiate PLM projects from within CAD and MS Office tools.
• Learn how enterprise PLM can be powerful yet easy to enable, learn, and use.
• Gain an understanding of how to balance user productivity and corporate governance.
• Learn how to build a compelling business case for SaaS PLM.
• Understand why traditional PLM is so hard, and why it doesn’t have to be the case in 2020.

Who should attend?

• PLM management; VP, senior directors
• Engineering managers
• Engineers, product designers
• IT PLM support and security staff
• Supply chain managers
