Here are the results from when we ran the poll in 2004 for comparison.

CIMdata Analysis

The latest CIMdata poll results identified that integration among CAD systems is the greatest interoperability challenge for companies (41% of responders). This is up from 23% four years earlier and indicates that managing CAD data from multiple sources across organization and the supply / design chain is growing in importance. As more companies outsource design to their partners, multi-CAD integration will remain a key success factor.

Integration with other PDM systems was identified as a leading challenge by 13% of responders – approximately the same as four years ago. This issue will continue as multiple PDM solutions are used throughout the design chain. However, as new architectures and standards are adopted, PDM to PDM integration, while essential, is becoming easier.

Several other interoperability areas were considered less challenging in the current poll versus four years ago. These include integration with enterprise resource planning systems and supply chain management. Each of these areas has been addressed by PLM solution providers during the four year period with both better integrations to third party solutions and incorporation of these functions within larger PLM solution suites. This has reduced the need/problems of integration for these areas.

NOTE: The results of these polls are anecdotal, not scientific.
