CIMdata Hosts Free Webinar, “How to Properly Plan Your PLM Implementation”

This free educational webinar, dedicated to exploring the details of PLM implementation, will take place on March 26, 2014

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 20 February 2014 — CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “How to Properly Plan Your PLM Implementation.” Join CIMdata on March 26 at 11:00 a.m. (EDT) to find out how properly implementing your PLM system can have a significant impact on how well PLM will support your business.

Based on CIMdata’s 30 years of experience in the PLM industry, our experts have identified the potential pain points associated with PLM implementations: the lack of experience implementing PLM; past PLM implementation failures; and that PLM implementations failed to demonstrate the expected benefit or value.

The webinar will be presented by Jim McKinney, CIMdata’s PLM Leadership Practice Manager. “Many people think that once a PLM solution is selected, the hard work is over; nothing could be farther from the truth,” says McKinney. “The way a PLM solution is implemented has a huge impact on how these new tools will be adopted by all users across the enterprise. This webinar will show you how to implement a PLM solution properly, and make sure your business gains the greatest level of benefit from PLM technology.” Mr. McKinney has over 28 years of experience helping people adopt and optimize new technologies. He delivers PLM certificate classes throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. He also works with individual companies to provide customized support for their PLM initiatives.

The webinar will be an hour long and will cover the following topics: Key PLM implementation considerations; how to structure the right implementation team; creating an implementation plan; how to measure success; and transitioning from implementation mode to a daily support model.

Attendees will learn:

  • How to manage the often-confusing aspects of PLM
  • The value of a successful implementation
  • An understanding of the key aspects of a PLM implementation 
  • The main tasks that must be accomplished for an implementation
  • How a successful PLM implementation can energize your business
  • Where to look for improvements in your business
  • How to measure the success of PLM

This webinar is suited for PLM users, team leaders and members, engineering managers, corporate training departments looking for education on PLM, PLM channel partners seeking more information on PLM, and anyone else interested in learning more about PLM. During the webinar attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
