 sp\;About our Speaker\nDo any of the following statements sound familiar?
 \n\n\nSuppliers working for multiple OEMs quickly leads to separate and in
 dependent systems installations and customization\, resulting in high cost
  for maintenance and support.\nThe limitations of current connectivity tec
 hnology affect the speed and timeliness of data availability.\nIt is diffi
 cult to synchronize and understand what files are with which collaborator.
 \nA company must deliver data in many different formats (i.e.\, everything
  from different native CAD formats to visualization data). Consequently\, 
 all incoming and outgoing data is converted back and forth\, introducing t
 he potential for errors\, decreased accuracy\, and definitely slowing down
  processes.\nThe size of data continues to grow with each CAD release. In 
 addition\, as product complexity increases\, data size does also. If the t
 ransmitted files are too large their size can cause system time-outs and p
 ossible delays in the review process\, as well as in downstream processes.
 \n\n\nThe collaborative exchange of product data (e.g.\, CAD models and pr
 oduct-related meta-data) among OEMs\, suppliers\, and other partner compan
 ies can best be described as tedious. On average\, each company has differ
 ent PLM solutions\, versions\, and customizations\, and also different CAD
  systems and versions. Exchanging data between any two companies requires 
 bi-directional agreements of exchange—how to handle errors and expansion o
 f the exchange process\, as well as how to protect their  Intellectual Pro
 perty (IP). No single standard for either CAD or product data exchange exi
 sts. Therefore\, each company is required to agree on a CAD and proprietar
 y product data format or a neutral format\, naming and revision schemes\, 
 configuration control\, data exchange mechanisms and how to provide synchr
 onization of the data between the two companies. This leads to lost time a
 nd slowed deliverables as each company works to establish the basis for ex
 change. Each company has its own exchange requirements\; therefore\, excha
 nging data requires independent and exclusive processes\, each unique and 
 complicated\, in an effort to support the long-term future of collaboratio
 n. It is time for a revolution.\nWhat will I learn?\n\n\nYou will gain a b
 etter understanding about the current state of technology for collaboratio
 n.\nYou will learn where the industry can expect the next advances in stan
 dards and IP protection.\nYou will learn what architecture some are propos
 ing for the future of collaboration.\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\nProduct 
 planners and managers\nPLM team leaders and PLM team members\nPLM users\nM
 anufacturing engineers\nProduct managers\nIT leadership\nSolution provider
 s\nAnyone who wants to learn more about PLM and data collaboration.\n\n\nD
 uring the webinar you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about 
 the topics discussed.\n&nbsp\;
