This educational webinar will share CIMdata’s vision on how Blockchain could be applied to product lifecycle management (PLM).
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 15 August 2018—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Blockchain for Enhancing the Value of PLM.” The webinar will take place on Thursday, September 27 2018, at 11:00 a.m. (EDT) and will last for one hour.
A wide range of exploratory Blockchain applications in financial services, supply chain, the public sector, healthcare, and manufacturing are being attempted to understand how the benefits of Blockchain can be realized. A significant number of these explorations are trial implementations to gain an initial understanding of the feasibility. However, Blockchain application in businesses has been studied widely enough that some frameworks can be developed to identify potential value in different industries. This webinar will present CIMdata’s vision about how Blockchain could be applied to PLM so that businesses can secure their product related intellectual assets and leverage them in innovative ways, while improving transparency and operational efficiency.
This webinar will help attendees:
- Develop a high-level understanding of Blockchain.
- Understand the state-of-the-art of Blockchain applied in an enterprise setting.
- Gain exposure to CIMdata’s vision on how to identify meaningful use cases of Blockchain applied to PLM.
According to Dr. Venki Agaram, CIMdata’s Director for Quality & Reliability Engineering consulting and the host for this webinar, “We don’t hear much about Blockchain applications related to PLM today. PLM is key to leveraging the intellectual assets of a business for innovation, and Blockchain offers a new way for doing that by enabling speedy, secure, and transparent transactions across networks of organizations involved in design, manufacturing, and service.”
Dr. Agaram has more than 35 years of experience spanning research and development, virtual engineering, reliability of simulations, complex materials systems, controlled mechanical systems, design for six sigma, structured innovation, innovation culture enhancement, regulatory compliance, recall mitigation, process modeling, market strategy, business transformation, and business development. At CIMdata, Dr. Agaram leads the effort to transform industry practices resulting in a more effective association between knowledge management and quality and reliability engineering, to improve the robustness of smart connected products and processes.
This webinar will be of interest to PLM leaders, PLM team members, product engineers, systems engineers, field service personnel, IT leaders, industrial companies seeking to make investments, industry analysts, financial analysts, solution providers, and anyone interest in Blockchain and PLM.
During the webinar attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed. To find out more, visit https://www.cimdata.com/en/education/educational-webinars/webinar-blockchain-for-enhancing-the-value-of-plm.
