Now available for purchase, this definitive 2026 study equips organizations with evidence-based benchmarks, cross-cohort gap analyses, and presentation-ready data assets to drive AI strategy.
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA–June 3, 2026—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global strategic consulting and research firm focused on PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and the digital transformation it enables, today announced that its research report, the AI in PLM: Adoption, Investment, and Readiness Report, is now available for purchase in the CIMdata store.
Fielded in the first quarter of 2026, this extensive study delivers an objective, evidence-based reference tool to support high-stakes AI strategy, product planning, and procurement decisions across the PLM domain. The research captures data from three critical industry cohorts—industrial companies, software providers, and service providers—and quantifies where their market expectations and strategies diverge.
"We are incredibly excited to make this research available to the broader market," said Cheryl Peck, CIMdata’s Chief Marketing Officer. "Rather than generic AI hype, this report delivers rigorous, fully sourced data that cuts through the noise. It enables buyers, software providers, and service providers to benchmark their AI maturity and align their internal teams with the same metrics."
Inside the AI in PLM Research Report Package:
- Powerful Cross-Cohort Gap Analysis: Built on a multi-cohort design with identical, comparable questions, enabling an in-depth 11-question analysis of where the ecosystem sharply disagrees on validation confidence, integration priorities, and timelines.
- Granular Buyer & Solution Provider Insights: Deep dives into industrial companies’ deployment roadblocks (data quality, governance, skills shortages) paired with an inside look at where solution providers are directing their R&D investments (embedded assistants, agentic workflows, autonomous capabilities).
- Total Data Transparency: Every reported value includes a chart reference code, a specific respondent count, and a direct citation to the underlying survey question for absolute credibility.
- Complete Enterprise Toolkit: A single purchase includes the Full Analytical Report, a 15-minute Executive Summary for senior leadership, an alternative-lens Respondent Executive Summary for broader team sharing, and four PowerPoint chart decks for reuse in internal presentations.
