PLM Certificate Program

CIMdata’s PLM Certificate Program is intended to ensure that the individuals that participate in a PLM program all have the same level of PLM understanding. The program is delivered through a series of education and training sessions. Comprised of a series of 3.5-hour and 7-hour seminars, it is delivered through a series of lectures, case studies, exercises, and tests.

CIMdata’s PLM Certificate Program is comprised of 9 core courses that can be given over a five-day period or can be delivered in half-day or full-day segments configured for a specific company’s requirements. Please note that CIMdata also offers a set of advanced courses for those companies that need to educate their PLM program participants in other important PLM related topics.

CIMdata Online Polls

CIMdata is now featuring online polls with real time reporting on our web site at http://www.cimdata.com/polls/polls.html. Each week the results of the previous poll will be included in the CIMdata PLM Industry Summary to help you stay on top of trends in the PLM industry.

Take a moment to visit the site and vote on our current poll.

The results for the last opinion poll are:

The responses to last month’s question (Which area of the business would you expect to receive the most value from PLM, but which hasn’t had PLM applied to it yet) were quite interesting. The difference between the highest and lowest answers was 8% - not a significant difference when looking at the various potential answers. However, the answer receiving the highest rating (26%) was “Enterprise Content Management.” Slightly behind the first answer was “Systems Engineering Support” with 23%. Again, not a significant difference between these top two rated areas of potential value that are not supported by PLM capabilities in the responding companies.

The third and fourth rated areas, both with approximately 18% response, were “Enterprise Simulation Management” and “Manufacturing Operations Support.” The area receiving the last place rating (16%) was “Field Configuration Management.” In all of these cases, the ratings reflected reasonable demand for PLM support for the area. In fact, PLM support for these areas is clearly available and PLM is known to provide significant benefit in each. The next question is, “what are we going to do about it?” There is clearly an opportunity to gain additional value by expanding the use of PLM into new areas of the business.

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