Collaborative research partners included leading PLM solution providers.
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 12 May 2021—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces the publication of a report summarizing the results of a multi-sponsor collaborative research program focused on the business benefits and challenges offered by the adoption of a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) PLM delivery model. Partners in this research effort included Aras, Dassault Systèmes, PTC, and Siemens Digital Industries Software.
This collaborative research program focused on helping answer vital questions about industrial companies’ on-going and planned Cloud/SaaS-related PLM efforts. The report summarizes the analysis of a global survey targeted at industrial companies to highlight the issues they face in looking to make this move.
According to Mr. Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata’s Vice President and leader of CIMdata’s research program, “In our 2017 cloud study, about one-third of the participants believed they would move to the cloud in the next two years. If our respondents to this new survey are representative of the broader population, nearly 30% have already made the move and 86% of our respondents either already moved, plan to move in the near future, or have strongly investigated their options. This result agrees with our work with our industrial consulting clients and in our interactions with the leading PLM solution providers who claim huge increases in interest and growing adoption. This is great news for the PLM Economy.”
