This educational webinar will consider why PLM is hard and what we can do to make it simple to maximize PLM-related ROI.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA, 21 July 2020—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Why is PLM so Hard?
