CIMdata Introduces PLM Certificate Program
 ANN ARBOR, MI,
Apr 24, 2009 - CIMdata, the leading global Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM) consulting and research firm, is pleased to
announce the introduction of a new PLM Certificate Program, the
flagship of CIMdata PLM Leadership—the PLM industry’s most
comprehensive non-biased education and training offering for today’s
PLM professionals. The PLM Certificate Program was developed to
ensure that the individuals participating in a PLM initiative all
have the same level of PLM understanding, and to prepare PLM
professionals at several levels, to successfully address the
challenges of their implementations.
Mr. Peter Bilello, CIMdata Vice President, explained that an enterprise’s
inherent need to manage its products’ lifecycles in a holistic and efficient
manner has grown significantly over the last several years. As a result, an
ever-increasing number of companies, recognizing the need to define and enable a
comprehensive enterprise strategy, are viewing PLM as a critical business
initiative. Mr. Bilello noted, “PLM’s criticality, considerable depth and
breadth, and current evolving nature have generated opportunity and stress for
companies who are defining and enabling a comprehensive PLM strategy, as well as
on those that support the market with technologies and services. This is due in
large, to the shortage of knowledgeable PLM resources.” He added that the PLM
industry acutely needs a best-practice based education and training program to
provide the solid foundation necessary to successful define, implement, and
continuously improve today’s and tomorrow’s PLM environments. “It is for this
reason CIMdata has continued to develop and deliver a rich set of educational
and training services for individuals and companies that seek leadership in
PLM.” said Mr. Bilello.
CIMdata’s internationally recognized 5-day PLM Certificate Program is an
assessment-based certificate program comprised of 9 sessions that are given over
a five-day period, and delivered through a series of lectures, case studies,
individual as well as group exercises, and tests. Upon completion of the
program, each participant will receive a CIMdata PLM Certificate.
To earn the CIMdata PLM Certificate, participants must complete all 9
sessions in one of two ways:
- By attending the full program delivered over 5 consecutive days; or
- By attending the prerequisite Core PLM Certificate sessions offered over
3 consecutive days and at a later time, within a 12-month period, completing
the remaining sessions given over 2 consecutive days.
The PLM Certificate Program covers a number of topics, including:
- Introduction to PLM
- PLM Benefits & Potential Value
- PLM Strategy & Solution Definition
- The PLM Commercial Landscape
- PLM Solution Evaluation & Selection
- PLM Implementation, Monitoring & Continuous Improvement
- Configuration Management’s Role in PLM
- Expanding PLM Across the Value Chain
- The Expanding Reach of PLM
CIMdata has scheduled three PLM Certificate Program educational sessions to
be held in Helsinki—Finland, Neumarkt—Germany, and in Ann Arbor—Michigan. For
