CIMdata Announces Schedule for 2010 PLM Vendor Forum
 ANN
ARBOR, MI, Dec 18, 2009 - Consulting and research firm CIMdata, Inc.
announces its 2010 PLM Vendor Forum schedule and program. These
international one-day events will be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan,
USA on March 25th, in Stuttgart, Germany on April 15th, and in
Tokyo, Japan on April 21st, 2010.
CIMdata’s 2010 PLM Vendor Forum will provide an insightful view of the
impact of the current economic climate and trends on PLM solution suppliers
competing in an increasingly challenging market. As always, CIMdata’s
perspective on the state and trends of the current and future PLM market
will be presented in detail, as well as providing our first public exposure
to CIMdata’s perspective on 2009 PLM market results—including our extensive
analysis and forecasts regarding market growth and forecasts across PLM
domains, industries, and regions, and the performance (revenue and market
share analysis) of leading PLM solution suppliers. We will discuss two
expansion areas—Social Networking and Compliance, and how they are
accelerating the recovery and bringing new opportunities to the PLM market.
“Social networking is changing how users work the product development
process,” said Ed Miller, CIMdata President. “These technologies are
impacting the PLM solutions that companies need to deploy and that vendors
need to provide.”
The most recent economic downturn has proven to be painful for many
companies around the world. Fortunately, many regions and industrial sectors
are starting to see signs of recovery. The current economic cycle has had a
major impact on many companies’ businesses—including their ability to
compete and expend resources. Companies need to accommodate economic cycles
and know when and what investments to make in order to recover from a
downturn’s impact more quickly. The question is “What will help my company
and the overall market recover faster?” Historically, delivering new
products and services that consumers want to buy has had a positive impact
on the economy—accelerating a return to business growth. “While it takes
commitment, market-leading companies invest during downturns so that they
can emerge leaner and stronger, with a portfolio of products that takes
advantage of the upturn,” said Ken Amann, CIMdata Director of Research.
“These companies look at their core portfolio of products and invest in R&D
to ensure that they have the first-mover advantage. This can significantly
improve their market position and leadership.”
Participants in CIMdata’s PLM Vendor Forum should expect to gain a solid
understanding of the current PLM market situation, dynamics that are
impacting it, and expectations for its continued evolution. In addition,
attendees will have the opportunity to gain further insights into
opportunities and approaches they can use to navigate the PLM market
environment during the current times.
