CIMdata Publishes eBook: “Simple is Hard—But When You Get It Right, You Can Change the World”

This eBook explains Upchain’s User-Centric Approach to Enabling Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).

ANN ARBOR, Michigan,USA 1 September 2020—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic consulting and research firm, announces the release of a new eBook, Simple is Hard—But When You Get It Right, You Can Change the World. The eBook describes Upchain’s guiding principle and vision for PLM—one where PLM acts like an operating system that is always on, always there, never to be worried about, and never in the way of getting the work done.

PLM is an enterprise strategy that must be enabled for all participants throughout an extended enterprise, not just those in engineering. What Upchain has done is to use the cloud and modern tools to build an end-to-end PLM solution that delivers a new user-centric approach that supports an extended set of PLM use cases while avoiding historic PLM pitfalls.

According to Mr. Peter Bilello, CIMdata’s President & CEO, “For years, the industry has added complexity to PLM. In reality, complex solutions are hard to take advantage of. The need to customize to get what you want no longer holds, and in 2020, PLM does not need to be hard anymore. PLM solution providers, like Upchain, are making the complex simple so that industrial companies can focus on their business, rather than their technical data and process management infrastructure.”

Research for this eBook was sponsored by Upchain, a company based in Canada that has developed a cloud-based PLM solution that makes PLM simpler without sacrificing functionality. To learn more, please download and read the complete eBook at www.CIMdata.com.
