ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 2 June 2026—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global research, consulting, and education firm specializing in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and the Digital Transformation it enables, announces the publication of a new eBook, sponsored by aPriori Technologies, Automating Engineering Intelligence: Accelerating Profitable Product Development. The eBook details how manufacturers must transform PLM from a “system of record” to a “system of action” to overcome global market volatility. As competitive intensity rises and supply chain volatility creates sustained margin compression, manufacturers are finding it increasingly difficult to deliver complex products on time and within budget. While modern PLM systems provide a strong backbone for data governance and traceability, they often lack the decision-ready insights needed to guide engineering choices in real time. Traditional Design for Manufacturing (DfM) and costing methods often rely on manual, part-level analysis and expert knowledge, which creates bottlenecks and cannot scale across modern, complex assemblies.
