The implementation of PLM has been described as performing open heart surgery on a person wh ile they run a marathon. This is because PLM is at the core of the company &mdash\;it is responsible for the creation\, use\, management\, and dissem ination of the company&rsquo\;s product related intellectual assets&mdash\ ;a non-trivial set of responsibilities. It is also because PLM cuts across all the enterprise&rsquo\;s departments and often includes development pa rtners\, suppliers\, and customers. All this requires a company&rsquo\;s P LM strategy to be robust and flexible. PLM is not something you implement overnight and as result\, what you define today may not be appropriate tom orrow. This webinar will address the evolving nature of a typical enterpri se and how PLM strategies should be defined and implemented in a sustainab le manner&mdash\;one that naturally addresses change.\n\n\n What will I le arn by attending this webinar?\n\n\n \n \n You will learn why a sustain able PLM strategy is required\n \n You will learn how to best define an d implement a sustainable PLM strategy\n \n You will learn how PLM impl ementation is best handled as an iterative process of improvement\n \n\n\n \n Join us for this webinar if:\n\n\n \n \n You struggle with the chang ing nature of PLM\n \n You worry about implementing another legacy syst em\n \n You believe that PLM is a strategic business initiative\n \n You want to maximize PLM&rsquo\;s positive impact on YOUR business\n \n\n \n\n Who should attend?\n\n\n \n \n Anyone contemplating a PLM implemen tation\n \n Anyone involved in a PLM implementation\n \n PLM sponsor s and champions\n \n PLM program and project managers\n \n PLM softw are providers\, PLM service providers\, and PLM channel partners\n \n P LM Professionals\n \n Anyone who wants to learn more about creating a s ustainable PLM strategy\n \n\n\n\n During the webinar you&rsquo\;ll also h ave the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.\n\n\n &nb sp\;\n\n\n  \;  \;\n DTSTART:20160114T160000Z DTEND:20160114T170000Z LOCATION:Online () SUMMARY:Developing a Sustainable PLM Strategy - A CIMdata Complimentary Web inar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
