Practice to provide consulting, research, and guidance on the top PLM issues affecting High Technology manufacturers, OEM’s, and supply chain participants.
Ann Arbor, Michigan, 1 October 2014—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) strategic management consulting and research firm, announces the formation of its newest practice to support High Technology Electronics Manufacturers. The practice will concentrate on the unique PLM issues faced by the High Technology Electronics industry – including chip manufacturers, board manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers, consumer technology products, industry specific equipment manufacturers, contract manufacturers, original design manufacturers, and electronics industry suppliers.
Peter Bilello, President of CIMdata, announced that Ms. Laila Hirr will lead the practice. Ms. Hirr’s title will be High Technology Electronics (HTE) Practice Manager. “With the increasing product, market, and supply chain complexities being faced by the high technology industries and the very rapid pace of development those industries must manage, it is crucial to provide HT&E with advocacy to drive their industry specific needs into viable PLM solutions. We’re very excited to have Ms. Hirr take on the challenge,” stated Mr. Bilello.
“The High Tech sector faces unique PLM challenges around the pace of their business, challenges that are defined by the mix of tools used, the complexity of the regulatory compliance issues, the high interactivity with the supply chain, and yes, the maturity of the PLM offerings to address their specific needs. In addition, the High Tech sector has a far broader, flatter constituency than some of the big iron industries, which makes representation of their needs with the PLM solution providers a real challenge” stated Ms. Hirr.
With this added consulting practice, CIMdata will offer a portfolio of strategic management consulting, research, and educational services for the industry specific needs of the High Technology Electronics market.
This consulting practice will leverage CIMdata’s more than thirty years of experience serving industry organizations and solution providers with strategic management consulting, market research and analysis, and best practices education.
