Report provides a classification for Enterprise Innovation Management Solutions
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 18 December 2015—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM consulting and research firm, announces publication of a report based on multi-sponsored research to create an Enterprise Innovation Management (EIM) Solutions guide to help accelerate the development of the global EIM market for the benefit of both solution providers and industry. Co-sponsors of the research effort are eZassi, Planview, Siemens PLM Software, and Sopheon.
The goal of the research was to address the existing concerns—as well as preempt the emerging concerns—of industrial companies about implementing EIM. Through a series of thought leadership interviews with representatives from sponsoring solution providers and chief innovation executives from Electrolux, Givaudan, GOJO Industries, Henkel, Honeywell, Procter & Gamble, and Sanofi, CIMdata defined and socialized a common framework of terminology, solution approaches, implementation challenges, and benefits. Through this effort CIMdata expects that industrial companies will become more familiar with enterprise innovation enabling technologies and will feel more prepared to invest in the next generation of solutions that are designed to increase their ability to innovate more effectively and sustainably.
