Custom Market Research

CIMdata conducts custom research for our clients covering a wide range of PLM related issues. Examples of custom research are:


Competitive analysis

This research provides PLM solution suppliers with a review of their competitive position by program, industry and market against selected competitors. Such analyses include assessments of strengths and weaknesses in multiple areas, e.g., company, PLM program, sales and marketing, and product suite.


Specific market analyses

Detailed analyses of a specific market segment such as digital manufacturing or electrical and electronics that provide a company with a definition of the segment, the potential business opportunity in that segment, and what must be done by the company to be successful in that segment. Market analyses may also include identification of current and potential competitors.


White papers

CIMdata will conduct research and then author white papers on PLM related topics. These may include definition and review of emerging PLM initiatives, case studies on the application of PLM to a specific business issue or function and other topics of interest. These white papers may be developed for internal or external use by the contracting company.


Program Review

CIMdata will conduct and document a detailed PLM program review for a supplier. These reviews include a company profile, PLM strategy assessment, and an in-depth analysis of the company’s PLM products and services.
