CIMdata's Analysis of the Results

The response to the recent poll indicates continued commitment to PLM by companies of all sizes. Approximately 64% of the respondents were from companies with less than 1,000 employees with 36% from larger enterprises. Reflective of the response from Small to Medium size businesses (SMBs), 43% of the respondents indicated that their companies would be spending less than $100,000 for PLM during the coming year. This is consistent with SMB PLM transaction sizes in recent years. Another 23% indicated PLM spending of up to a $500,000 in 2007. The remaining 34% indicated their PLM spend would exceed $500,000 which represents a significant yearly investment by those businesses - consistent with the 36% of respondents from larger enterprises.
